Does anyone remember when this wasn't such an old penny?  It's from only about 20 years before I was born, but you should have seen Caroline jump and down when she found it in Bill's coin jar.  On the other hand, it's now old enough to have its statistics released by the US gonvernment--hehe--like how census records are released after 72 years.

I recently came across some rolls of coins that I put away in about 1975.  One of the nickels was from 1939 and I realized in 1975 that was closer in time than 1975 is to now.  ~sigh~
