Here are my 3.

I lost my Morgan for a while. Then I noticed my new kitten trying to pick up my Ike off my night stand about a month ago. This gave me an and sure enough I found my Morgan in one of my kittens' "stash" spots.

Here it is after being in my kittens possession for a while.

My Ike has had some wear.

Found 2 of these in a roll. This one had an ugly yellow/brown coating on it so I made it a pocket piece. Not sure what it is, but it's coming off quickly as coin wears.

One day in and it sure is a lug. Sound's great in there, we don't hear change like that anymore. Definitely know it's in there, and is the first to hit your hand when you reach in. This is probably a good thing as you don't need to pull it out to get at the rest of your change.

jack jeckel- your Bugs is a great choice, probably the only one out there. Maybe I should have said BIG...

The rim is so shallow on this coin. It may wear off inside faster than the outside due to the smaller diameter coins rolling around on it.

I decided to take the plunge today and put this 1974 D Ike in my pocket. Let's see how long it takes me to lose it.

If you lose that, you should not be allowed around coins any more. Welcome!

I'm coming up on a year with mine; there is a little over a month left. I will post an update then. Maybe I'll add another at that point, as well.

I haven't been carrying mine around recently, but seeing this thread reminded me to get back in the action. I'll post an update next month, but in the meantime, I'm enjoying everyone else's.

It has been a couple days over one full year now, and nary a day was missed! My comparisons are becoming skewed as my photography improves:

The other day a customer, who we have known is a coin collector, showed us his pocket collection:
An 1879(?) Morgan
1922 Peace
2008 ASE
A Walking Liberty and Franklin half
silver Washington quarter
Mercury dime
And one or two other small silver coins that I didn't get a good look at. All seemed to be in pretty nice grades with lots of detail, even the ASE which he said he's been carrying since '08. Very fun to see.

And I thought my pockets were full!

No kidding! I have thought of adding one more, but that guy has a type set in his pocket.

I obviously have broken the habit of monthly updates, but I have been carrying my pocket pieces most of the time (though not quite as reliably as some of you). Here's the progress on the 2010-D half, with some different shots to show the wear on the high points.

Here are some family photos. There have been a couple of changes since the beginning of last year: for one thing, I removed both 1899 quarters since I almost lost them on several occasions. Second, there are two new pieces that I added a couple months ago: a 1972-S proof half and a 1904-O Morgan.
