First to post a 2013 Penny, Nickel, Dime, and Quarter. From circulation only. You have to receive the coin in change, or get it from the bank.
Write the date of the day the picture is taken on a piece of paper and stick it behind the coin when you take a picture of it, so we can read it.

Please include each example of coins found in posts. For example, if you find a 2013 nickel, post a pic. Then you find a quarter. Post a pic of the nickel and the quarter in the post in which you show you have found the quarter.

PRIZE=something silver. I dont know yet. As I assume I will be going to coin shops in january, I will try to pick up something cool.

US only. I dont think Canada is even making the penny anymore.



Happy New Year to all and don't burn yourself with fireworks.



GO!

I assume you mean from circulation and not a mint set?

So we hide behind a piece of paper and write the date on something and then stick what exactly behind the coin when we take a picture of it? Not exactly clear there.

Collect all four and then post a picture or post each as we acquire?

So to make this clear, we need to be the first person to get all four denominations, right?

I guess it will take a miracle for me to win. I still don't think I got a 2012 quarter in change yet.

rachums can correct me if I'm wrong, but here's my interpretation using arbitrary dates and order:

1/24: Abe finds a dime, posts pic of it and 1/24
1/24: Joe finds nickel and penny same day, posts pic of it and 1/24
1/30: Abe finds quarter and cent, posts new pic of dime with 1/24 date next to it and cent and quarter next to that with 1/30 date
2/4: Joe finds quarter, posts pic of it with 2/4 next to his 1/24 nickel and penny
2/5: Abe finds Nickel, posts pic with Nickel 2/5, quarter and cent 1/30, Dime 1/24.

Abe is the winner!

Can us UK folks go for 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p? Or would 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p be more fitting?
Rest in Peace
