1. At last, everyone at work who wanted a Log Cabin Cent has at least one of them now, so I can now keep all the ones I find in circulation without being 'greedy'.

2. One of my co-workers found a 2009-D Cent laying on the pavement at a gas station (by the pump), so I finally know of a local 'ground find'!

3. I raised $103 for charity (at work) by raffling off a bank roll of 2009 Log Cabin Cents (103 $1 tickets). The interest level was high, because this was a roll of Philadelphia Cents (that I bought from coppernickeldaddy), which we all figure are not too likely to show up in a BU roll at face value in a Denver bank! I had previously opened another of the rolls that I got from him
(and showed a couple of those coins to the ticket buyers), so I could vouch for there being 50 BU 2009 Cents in the roll.

4. A new record (so far): Three 2009-D Log Cabin Cents in my change today! Two BU, and another AU. Ah, what to do with the AU Cent?
I put it in a 'Take A Penny, Leave A Penny' tray, obverse up!
I wanted to give someone else a chance to find one, without chucking it on the ground.... I may be the first person on here to have 'let go' of one, ha ha ha!

Why is there so many D ones and no P mints?

I mean I have three D mints... no P mints, and live in South Carolina.

The Denver mintage of 2009 Log Cabin Cents is higher than for
Philadelphia, but I do find it odd that you would be finding
"D" Cents in circulation in South Carolina, but not Philly's

A couple of weeks ago, I was excited to find a BU 2008 Philly Cent
in my change, a rare find in the Denver area!

I am not finding any 2009 cents in South Carolina!

Fortunately, I have one each (2009 and 2009-D) of the Log Cabin cents, courtesy of COINAHOLIC!

To increase my possibility of getting Log Cabin Cents in my change,
I stopped rounding up the one-Cent amounts when paying for anything.

Normally, if the total of the purchase ended in '1' or '6' and I had a Cent in my pocket, I would spend the Cent to even out the change I get back: ie: For a total of $13.76, I'd hand $15.01 to get $1.25 back. (or: pay $14.01 and get 25¢ back, $20.01 and get $6.25 back, etc.)

Now I want every Cent I can get back!

When I had my Lincoln Cent Collection as a kid in the 1960s, I used to go to the bank and exchange penny rolls and go thru them. Never did find that 1909 S, but I did fill it up pretty much going back to the 1930s.

Found some in a 'Take A Penny, Leave A Penny' tray. Got 8 and gave the cashier a dime for them. Know where they bank at so a few days later went by the bank and picked up 2 rolls.
Rest in Peace

If I found any circulating in western Colorado, I would gladly give them away, or spend them. However, there just aren't any.

I volunteer at the local hospital gift shop, and went through about 500 pennies (Cents) recently and didn't find a single 2009.
Rest in Peace

Back to the hospital gift shop today.

Will look through several hundred pennies (cents) and hope for the best.
