And speaking of which, here we go…

I am collecting a lot of coins from any willing to give them for a project. All before the year 2000. I’ve got so many coins now in pikes by year and mint add ah in order with no years missing since 1960 to 1999 save buf one. For my whole life, I’ve always looked for coins from my year of birth and I’ve never found a single one. After a year of not finding one, i began to get obsessed with it. But I’ve found every year of all my family members from my dad61 mom62 sister82 and brother84, and all multiple times, but I’ve never found any coins or paper bills from 83. Why can’t i?

What a great video, Major D. Thanks for introducing me to BFS!

Thanks Major D, needed to watch that. So agree with you.

I can already see the makings of a whole new field of gathering and study for professionals and amateurs alike: numismatic archeology.

I just saw an article where Bill Gates is ‘very optimistic’ about the future: ‘Better to be born 20 years from now…than any time in the past’ Myself, I’d prefer to go back to 1985! Bowling For Soup – 1985 – YouTube

Circulating coins will be a relic of the past within the next generation if not sooner- like phone books, phone booths and land lines (sure, there might be some still in use, but the vast population will have moved beyond it). Not unlike these Chuck E Cheese tokens in my junk drawer.

If Canada were truly progressive it would have circulating 50 cent pieces. 😉

That’s putting it mildly, my friend, but you’re right on the money.

We could be like Canada, five cents, 10 cents, 25 cents and polymer notes. Ah but Canada if more liberal and progressive than the U.S. is.
