Here is the pics of the first new Lincoln Cent my wife acquired for me from circulation. She got it at the hardware store where she works in a transaction today.  http://i551.photobucket.com/albums/...2009rev.jpg" border="0" style='cursor:default' onClick='doimage(this,event)'> Edited by Tim Stroud

I'm a bit miffed. I called the Brinks depot here in Orlando and the lady told me that they received the new pennies (on 3/13) and to tell my bank to special order them. So I call two banks and ask about them ordering the pennies, and they tell me that I need to order them on the Mint's website. Uh, no! Not paying $13 for two rolls. I called back the Brinks lady, explaining this, and she has not returned my call. Why so much bureaucratic crap for a measly box of cents? Are they scared I'll make a profit? I would love to get a box just to trade some for D-mint rolls. WHERE'S MY BAILOUT?!  |

I wouldn't pay that price from the mint either. I bought a few rolls of the nickels back then when they changed to the new designs. Won't do that again. Believe it or not I have yet to see a 2008 cent in circulation.

I called Brinks (Charlotte) and they have them and will be shipping them this week. No guarantees however. If the bank orders pennies, they may get new or old. I guess that also means you might get mixed rolls.

Fatcat,
I received one cent from a local pizza place. The bad thing about it is I didn't even notice it until I arrived back at home and emptied out my pockets. I would have asked for all of them if I had known. Oh well...I will run across more someother time.
