    I just received a 1927 Wheat Cent in change from the Taco Bell drive thru.

    The funny part is I had no clue what it was because I was in "penny mode"

    Forgot about the 1908 V-Nickel I found recently. That tops it by a year.

    I recently bought a couple of used whitman coin albums (paid $1.25 for 4 used albums). When I got home and started to fill my albums, I found 10 silver roosevelts in one of the albums. Does that count?

    I received this 1912 penny from a change machine at the local Safeway grocery store in September 2010.

    Got a 1952 quarter in g... 1917s wheat in XF... and a 1985 $50 in perfect condition, no creases at all. All in different gas stations in the last year. I wonder all the time what the clerks think when I try to peek in the till when they get my change! Lol! ;)
