Here is one I hang on to, don't really know why, except the novelty, although 1 of 10,000,000 isn't real novel is it?

The Sacky's are the tough one. The novelty is that they bore the wrong date of issue.

I also have one of those Cheerios pennies! My local coin dealer has one too. I keep all of the bicentennial quarters I find, and I just started pulling copper cents.

As far as sentimental value, I have my Grandma's small collection, and I have a 500 WON bill from Korea which my uncle gave me.

Nope, not from Cheerios, but I have some mildly circulated ones in case he's in need of a date.

.....Those are not in short supply anywhere ! In high grades maybe, but I don't believe there's any value to these other than .25 cents in average condition.
I have heard that, on occasion, you can dump them on ebay for a little bit, but........

That's what I'm trying to determine
My 500 won is South Korean but it has no date.

Now since I started out late in collecting. I would have to say all the 1776-1976 Quarters I have. I usually have received these from vending machines or just in change over the years. I know their not worth much nor will they ever be. But oh well, thats the first coin that caught my eye and I started to collect.

Those bicentennial coins, even I have a difficult time wanting to spend them!
It is not logical, but I still keep them.

I've got a 4 Reale shipwreck coin with date that I think is too cool to get rid of. I am not a foreign coin collector. I just like it.
