Oh I heard about this one. I like it but I thought they were going to do something about the Star Spangled Banner too.

This Is the Star Spangled Banner Comm. Dollar coin. There is also a $5 Gold coin.

Overhaul of the coinage,ie 20 cent pc., is never going to happen. It would cost 100s of millions of dollars to change millions of vending machines to take on the changes. Vending machines use magnets to weed out slugs and foreign coins so anything magnetic is out. The best solution would be eliminate the cent and go to a zinc core Nickel.

I would also eliminate the dollar bill.

The Obama administration this week asked Congress for permission to change the mix of metal that goes to make pennies and nickels.

In the late 70s I paid a bit over $1000 for 3 Gold Kregerands. Sold them off over a 6-7 year period. Wish I still had them but I did make a profit.

Got a 2009 D Log Cabin cent in BU yesterday. First I've seen in any condition.

My son brought me two BU Mt. Hood quarters from NYC. I've only found a few territory and Park quarters here.

When I tumble my detecting finds they get that sand blast look. The bubbles could be envirnmental damage?

The 1937 is refered to as the 1937 with dot but there is no 1937 without a dot.

A care package of nickels from Canada. Thanks Kev. Filled a bunch of holes in my Whitman album.

Nothing.

My post count would be much higher if I posted "nothing" every time I found nothing.

One thin Canadian dime.

Found a 2009 Canadian quarter. Commerative of the 2002 gold medal win for Olympic hockey.

Grabbed a handful of coins from the reject bin at a grocery store in Niagara Falls. 12 cents Canadian and $1.37 in US change. Only keeper was a 1941 Wheatie.

Were gonna have to change half the thread names in the asylum.

We've waited years, we can hold out for a few more months.

My daughter extended her hand and said "Coinstar". The take was..

Canada

1 loonie,5 quarters, 7 dimes, 3 nickels, 9 cents.

5 memorial cents US

1-2 euro cent from France.

Got a silver dime in the basket today,1951. Grandson got down on the floor and dug out a 1919 cent and a US nickel.

Not in circulation but I dug a 1911 cent the other day. Not too often do I get 100 year old coins.

I like the new shield design.

Been kinda dry for a while. Canadian dime and cent last week.

2009 P dime. First I've found in circulation.

That pic with BiggAndyy did come to mind when I made the post but she also got down and dirty when I took her detecting and I recall a few other pics where she really "got into" some things.
