<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3583035, member: 76194&quot;]Some coins go into circulation accidentally long after they were minted. I have two incidents of that happening that I can remember:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) 2 years ago I found a XF Indian Head penny in my pocket change. I think the date was 1866. Since I don&#039;t collect modern coins, I gave the coin to a child in my son&#039;s cub scout troop who collects modern coins. For an Indian Head penny in great condition to be in circulation in 2017, it must have been put back into circulation by accident or ignorance.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) A former girlfriend looking for change for the tolls once grabbed an 1865 3 cent piece from my desk and threw it in the machine at a toll booth. I found out about it after the fact when I couldn&#039;t find my coin and I asked her about it. She said she thought it was 10 cents. She was an ex soon after that <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, but to be fair that&#039;s not why we broke up. That was about 10 years ago when I still collected modern coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
