    I find change everyday while sweeping at the local high school. Saw the reverse of this one and thought it was a proof. Untill I turned it over. It's got a few scratches but the reflection depth is still a couple of inches. 20180913_080825.jpg 20180913_080857.jpg

    Considering it was found where alot of people walk, the thumb print is the least of its worries. Lol I just hadn't seen a 2017 as proof like. I'll have to watch for others.

    The floor sweeper never found a penny on the floor of my high school. They were actually worth something in the 50's.

    My first day at the hs, found 85cents, 3 quarters and a dime in the hall. Kids today just don't care about change. Lol

    When I was biking to and from work, I noticed that the coins on the road at intersections were more often nickels or dimes than cents. I figured people were trying to give change to panhandlers. People will take the risk to pick up paper money from a road, but not change.

    Change today isn't worth much of anything. That 85 cents that wingnut found would have had the equivalent purchasing power when I was a kid that would require about $12 today.
