2015 Coins

Time for me to celebrate!

I went to get a few groceries last night and they totaled $3.96. I gave the cashier four singles and she asked me if I had a penny. I know I had a few in my pocket but I told her "No, I emptied my change earlier today".

So she gave me four shiny 2015 (P) cents in change. Yippy! It only took me 116 days to find my first 2015 coin. (Now........the wait for the first "D")

I think this was my first 2015-P Dime in change tonight

I still have not seen a 2015 anything.

While dumping halves if I see a tellers tray with a few shiny rim coins I ask if they are 2015 but there still seems to still be a steady supply of mint 2014's hitting the streets.

Will 2015 coins be the new 2009's?

I got my first ones today in change from the gas station.

I just got a few boxes of Wells Fargo wrapped cents. Judging by the ends, one box appears to be ALL 2015's. Not sure weather to call this box a "skunk" or start looking for varieties LOL.

Well, I didn't have to wait as long as I thought to find the 2015-D cents. I went to Tim Horton's this morning to get some bagels for the wife and I and while I was waiting I noticed two shiny pennies laying by the cash register (in the need/give tray). I took a good look at them and saw that they were 2015-D's. I swapped those two for two in my pocket, even though one was a Canadian George cent. Now my cents are done for this year!

I already have all the 2015 coins from buying the uncirculated, proof, and (tomorrow) the silver proof sets. However, I prefer to put pocket change coins into my albums or folders instead of busting out the Mint sets. So......two cents down, and two nickels, two dimes, and ten quarters to find yet this year.

Only Zincolns so far, which I get rid of fairly quickly in charity bins, etc, etc. Hopefully I get my nickels and dimes for my Whitmans soon.

Congratulations!
