OK so I've finally jumped into the blogging thing. I really have no reason for it, but I was walking back from the post office this morning and I found a penny on the sidewalk. This got me thinking about the change in circulation in our country. OK, surprise, I collect coins (who else is thinking about them anyway?) so I do think about them a bit. I thought I'd start a blog and a bit of a project to keep track of my pocket change, money picked up from the ground and other things.
From time to time I may feature a coin I've bought, but this blog is primarily about sorting my pocket change. You can have a collection on a shoestring, in fact, you could build a coin collection just from your pocket change or from found money that is lying on the ground.
So just for fun, what have I got in my pocket today? Not a lot at the moment. 36 cents. I have 3 dimes: 1975, 1967, and a dark looking 1969 D that I found in a driveway as I was walking by. I have 6 one cent coins: 1967, 1982, 1995, 2001, 2005, 2008. I think the 1982 is one of the zinc cents so I'm going to throw it, along with everything except the 1967 cent into a change jar. I'll keep the 1967 copper cent separate for now.
Tomorrow I'm going to a regional coin show, perhaps I'll pick up some Buffalo nickles or or something! Till next time.
