It might be of interest to report 2014 dated coins as you encounter them. It could give us a clue as to when and where they are hitting circulation. I suggest reporting: -- date received -- face value (cent, nickel, etc.) -- mint mark -- where found (city/town, state) -- circumstances (change at a store, etc.)
I think it is interesting to see the disbursement of the new coins. The only issue is they don't give me change when paying with my debit card.
IMO that counts (sort of). I look at it like buying a 2014 car in Sept/Oct 2013. Or January magazines coming out in November. But it's still a 2014 item.
$3.14 for bagel and coffee every morning. Puts $.84 in my pocket 5 days a week. Literally the only thing I pay cash for.
I purchased a 2014 Australian uncirculated set just before New Year's Day and they have been available for a few weeks. The set should arrive either January 2 or 3. Given the extensive coin program that comes from both the Royal Australian Mint and the Perth Mint, I suppose an early start cannot hurt.
2014? I still haven't seen any 2013 cents, nickels, or dimes and only one 2013 quarter. Heck I haven't seen any 2012 dimes yet, and only one 2012 quarter. (haven't seen any 2011 quarters and only 2 2010's) I expect my first 2014 cent to show up sometime around September.
Just got my first 2012 dime tonight. East central Indiana, a small town 40 miles from any moderate sized city in any direction.
