In the UK, sets of the first decimal coins could be purchased from banks in 1968 - the halfpenny, one penny and two pence coins were dated 1971.
I like the Zombucks coins!

Everyone knows there's no such thing as zombie hair gel! I did find zombie pomade, though.

Quote: In the recent past, Canada had future dated coins. Sets of circulation coins for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver were being sold as early as 2007. The 2018 World Cup type in the OP was supposed to come out in December 2016, but the shipments arrived too close to the holidays and weren't properly dispersed until a few weeks into 2017. I really wanted to get one in time for the HFBCWG-4, but the prices back then were ridiculous and I didn't want it that much. By now they're selling at only 20% markup over face value, which hopefully will mean that I manage to see one in circulation before the end of 2017.

My wife and I are big Walking Dead fans (and other zombie related things), so after finding out about the Zombucks, I just had to get a set.   By far my favorite design of the set:

The Zombucks series is really cool. I'm not exactly a zombie fan, but I do like the satirical take on the classic coin designs -- torn between Murk Diem and Walker as my favorites.

I'm a Zombucks fan myself from the start of the series. I have multiple complete sets of both copper and silvers, and also complete proof sets of both.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72

Please, for the love of good, don't tell my daughter about these. If she ever finds them I'll be like, "Oh, yeah, everybody knew about these, but you."

Nice edit nss!  It had me fooled for a few seconds. Of course, everyone knows we'll be using Zombucks by the end of this year.

I'm trying to figure this the heck out because no way will we have pennies in 2095. This is NOT photoshopped or edited whatsoever.

One future coin: commemorating the aging of America.  Sorry, cannot have a reverse... there's no going back!
