For something fun I decided to collect US Pennies. I am actually enjoying it, flipping every penny I come across and check what date it is. I don't know what I'll do when I'm done with it. I wonder how difficult/easy to get the years from 1956 and before. We'll see how far back I can find coins. My oldest is 1939 and up to 2008. I got a coin folder for $2 from one of the bookshops here. It is originally for 1941 - 1974 but I don't want to follow the dates. I just needed something to put the pennies that I have already collected. Easier for me to know which ones I don't have. I printed out stickers to label the holes. I have 90 holes to fill, so far I've got 47 holes occupied, more than half way, that was easy, filling up the rest of the holes is going to be a challenge.

I just recently started to collect wheat pennies...I love it my husband picks on me but i told him one day they might just make us rich lol i the oldest one i have is 1916...I have 1918 1919 1930 1940 all the ones in between i am still actively searching for and I have lots of years after 1940.. The ones that are marked with the s are more rare....I really enjoy this hobby I hope you are as well and just maybe one day you might just hit the jack pot lol....Happy penny findings to you!!!! amanda
