<p>[QUOTE="bugo, post: 1807058, member: 53226"]What is the ultimate year of each current coin? By "current" I mean Lincoln pennies, Jefferson nickels, Roosevelt dimes, Washington quarters, JFK halves, and whatever dollar coins that they're making today. Error coins don't count as they didn't make up a high percentage of the coins that were minted that year. Variations such as the VDB penny don't count as there were only a certain number out of the total number of pennies minted that year with the VDB initials. Rarities such as the 1943 copper cent don't count either. I'm talking about regular production coins. These must be coins that are worth much more over face value, not coins like the bicentennial coins that were pumped out for two years but are not worth over face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here's my nominations:</p><p><br /></p><p>Penny: 1943 steel cent</p><p>Nickel: 1942-45 silver war nickel</p><p>Dime: Pre-1965 silver dime</p><p>Quarter: Pre-1965 quarter</p><p>Half: 1964 (1965-70 are noteworthy as well)</p><p>Dollar: They're still minting them?</p><p><br /></p><p>As for me, I've found every one of these coins in circulation except for the '64 half.

These must be coins that are worth much more over face value, not coins like the bicentennial coins that were pumped out for two years but are not worth over face value. Here's my nominations: Penny: 1943 steel cent Nickel: 1942-45 silver war nickel Dime: Pre-1965 silver dime Quarter: Pre-1965 quarter Half: 1964 (1965-70 are noteworthy as well) Dollar: They're still minting them? As for me, I've found every one of these coins in circulation except for the '64 half. I have found Franklin halves and 40% JFK halves and my mom found a '64 that she gave me, but I have yet to find one in circulation.
