I am visiting some friends, and they offered a jar of cents for me to rummage through on my down time. I will post some of the odd or older stuff here. Nothing to fancylol

oh dear, I hope these are not the best you have seen

LoL the change jar is not the best I have seen. There are a lot of 1992,98,99 and 2000 so I have been getting my WAM-CAM fix, with no luck but still fun.

FWIW, the two devices on either side of the date appear to closely resemble the cornucopia (Horn of Plenty) and torche (torch) two anti-counterfeiting measures adopted by the French Mint and used on coins minted on or about 1902, and apparently since.

 I finished up the coin bucket. No keepers in the last few hundred coins . I did find two tokens mixed in with the cents. Seeing it is token Tuesday.

When does the old stuff begin?

This was the only old stuff. The other stuff was only our age and not much better looking.

Yeah,I’m not figuring on making it to 118, but I’m betting these ALREADY looked like this in 1955, when I was born.
