New Obsession

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.
