Just a bit longer. I've been collecting 1 penny from every year of the last century without purchasing them. I'm almost there.

There was a short time in my teenage years when I threw all pennies I had on the ground. It felt both good and bad.

Which ones are you looking for now?

Probably the ones he threw on the ground ;-)

Sixteen more: 1933, 32, 22, 21, 14, 11, 10 , 08-00.

The bottom of the century is tough.

Stumbled across this post, how are you doing with this? You still actively searching?
mk  ·  4486 days ago  ·  link  ·  
Yeah, but I haven't found one for some time.

I'm surprised that they're still in circulation!

Yeah, it's pretty exciting when I get one that early.

I want to frame them eventually, 10 x 10. I think it would be a nice little item on the wall.
