    I collect old coins, and my grandpa finished my state quarter collection for me. My oldest is a penny from the fifties and a dollar bill from before the started writing "In god we trust" on them.

    The New Presidential Dollar coins are the most beautiful on the planet.

    Check them out! This is the first coin the has words struck on the edge.
    There was a lot that went out without the wording, those are worth a penny!

    The U.S. mint has put out a District of Columbia Quarter! Looks really hot!


    This made me laugh-it's the 01-27-09 strip.
    Don't tell me that he's that over inflated?

    So Richard, do you want some coins from other countries??? Email me.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    I just found a new Lincoln penny.

    It's a neat coin-The Formative Years!

    I forgot that they were minted and gave up hope of seeing one anytime soon!

    We have one of the first of those pennies - the quality of the engraving is kind of disappointing, frankly. It looks far too beat up for a new penny.

    And slick, we recently got a 2007 Canadian penny - it looks like the queen's portrait was changed about then to reflect her being older?
