1¢ at the kitchen counter at Hy-vee 1¢ at KFC I thought I would come up with a Wheat penny one, since I get wheat pennies in change in return or rolls of pennies from the bank once in a while. I really like the design on it, too. Always found it to be unique. $999.98 to go ***Staff Note: Project changed from $1000 to $100 6/23/2025 ******Staff Note: Project changed from $100 to $10 12/10/2025 ***Edited by orange26

As I've mentioned in another thread, I save up all the wheat pennies I find that are duplicates of ones I've already collected. Then, at the end of each year, I put them back into circulation. These are all "found on the ground" coins, not from coin rolls and (generally) not received in change. Currently I have 7, from between 1937 and 1956.
BTW, I also do this with 2009 cents; currently I have one of each type (including only the second "type 4" I've ever seen).

Last night I placed the following in a restaurant "tip jar":
- 5 wheat pennies from 1941 thru 1956.
- 5 2009 cents, with all 4 designs represented.
- 4 nickels from early '40s thru late '50s (no wartime ones).
- 4 nickels from 2004/2005, representing all 4 designs.
I have a few other wheat pennies (1937, 1942, 1947-D), not in as good shape as the others, that I plan to spend tomorrow (along with a few more 2004/2005 nickels and 2 bicentennial quarters).

I guess I should mention that I did spend my remaining 3 wheat pennies on 12/2.
