1949 Wheat Penny

Found this in a roll of pennies at work.

1990 One Cent

This is a Bahamian penny which I found in a coin roll at work. I will never understand where we get our coins. They sort for nothing. Still, that's pretty styling with the flamingo and the marlin. You have to love coins with animals.

2011 50 Pence

Ugh. Sorry it's been a month. I got busy with school things. These three are extremely modern, from the UK. They're Olympic 50p- though oddly they're from before the Olympics started? I've got Badminton, Vollyball, and the Discus throw. Two of my friends who got married when to Scotland for their honeymoon and picked these up for me. Not that I wanted the whole set (I think there's 36 of them) but I'd like to get the Offside Rule one just because it's so funny.

Half New Sheqel

This was a present from a customer at work. We were chatting about her accent and she mentioned she was just visiting from Israel and I mentioned I'd only just gotten some coins from there the week before and she said she'd give me a few more. This is one of them.

1948 Wheat Penny

This one was in the same roll as the 1958 below- it's from San Francisco, California originally.

1958 Wheat Penny

Found this one and the next one in a roll of pennies at work. I have no idea where our coin rolls come from- it's like a time traveler's house or something.

CTA Fare Token

This is an old Chicago Bus Fare token. I'm only going to scan one side because it's exactly the same on both. Totally love the little radioactive shape cut out in the middle. It's pretty funny I just pulled this out of the box because I was just in Chicago earlier this year and now they use those little magnetic strip cards. I was totally the person always putting the card in the machine wrong and holding up the entire line. Apparently tokens stopped being used in June 1999 so this was made some time before that. Siiiiigh.
