<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bluegill, post: 45692, member: 1748&quot;]I&#039;ve seen other posters here comment about not seeing any 2004 nickels in change. I see them regularly, and have been since last autumn, I guess, or maybe earlier.</p><p><br /></p><p>How does that work? I guess newly minted coins tend to go to certain areas, cities, and slowly spread outward. People pocket or horde or collect them along the way, so that only the less &quot;collected&quot; stuff makes it farther from the distribution centers. This seems simple--is it an accurate notion? Comments?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, a lady I work with gave me about ten dollars in cents to go through. I found three common-date wheat pennies and four Canadian pennies, and another Lincoln cent I wanted to ask about here. I have it on my dresser at home and can&#039;t remember the date--I think it&#039;s 1983. The surface is fairly brilliant, but it&#039;s kind of...lumpy. It looks sort of like it has a very evenly dispersed case of chickenpox, on both sides. I suspect it has to do with the problems they had with the switch to clad cents, but I&#039;ve been unable to find another picture of the phenomenon online. It&#039;s the most pronounced case of it I&#039;ve seen, and I want to compare it to a photo. Does anyone know where I can find a picture?</p><p><br /></p><p>I might just have to try to take a picture of my coin and post it, but I haven&#039;t tried that yet and I don&#039;t know how that will turn out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
