<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bradley Chrisman, post: 3056729, member: 93522&quot;]I lived in Venezuela for 12 years starting in 1956.&nbsp; My Dad worked in the oil fields in that country.&nbsp; Started collecting when Venezuelan coins shifted from silver to clad in 1964, I really liked the Fuertes (5 Bs).&nbsp; When we moved to the US in &#039;69, I came across a wheat penny.&nbsp; It was dated 1944.&nbsp; My Dad explained that there was a steel penny made during the World War II, but couldn&#039;t remember the year.&nbsp; I was running my hand in the couch we had searching for more loose change.&nbsp; Came across a penny, believe it or not, it was dated 1942.&nbsp; My Dad said the steel penny must have been made in 1943!&nbsp; At that point I was hooked!&nbsp; My initial quest was to find one of those &quot;steel pennies&quot;![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
