Yesterday, the only old coin I found was a 1953.....the year I was born! Weird how that happens.

Its always nice to find coins like that in change. My wife gave me her wallet full of change to look thru the other night and I pulled a Wheat penny out of there also. Every now and then, she has a silver in her change. I probably need to look thru it a little more often !

Not sure the validity of my theory, but have always reasoned that when the economy started taking a downturn (or upturn in inflation) you seem to find more old coins in circulation. Always thought it was someone going to their top drawer to make gas money….but could just be a coincidence.

When I was going to school in the 1950s in upper New York State there were quite a few mid to late 1800s and early 1900s coins used to buy food at the school cafeteria. I never could figure that out either. I still have the ones the cashiers saved for me.

Dad was in the jaycees in the early 70s. One of their fund raisers involved the county fair. He kept many old coins that came in during that time. Always assumed grandpa gave little jimmy a coin (to keep) and little jimmy spent it on cotton candy.

I had the same agreement with our lunch lady and a friend who ran vending machines for lance
