Almost forgot. Today, August 18, 2018 is a palindrome being 81818, the same forwards and backwards.

Unless I missed something, can think of only three years since the beginning of the US that have years that are palindromes: 1881; 1991 and 2002. There are also letters like ANA also currency serial numbers.

Post anything you have whether coins (world or US), tokens, medals, paper money, other exonumia etc. Also any numismatic related phrases.

Is there anything numismatic devoted to the palindrome or any chance lettering that works (anything ANA works).? Today would have been a good day for someone to issue an ANA related 8-18-18 token at the convention, even an elongated cent.

Here are a few ordinary coins along with a non-coin video.

Have a "Never Odd Or Even" day.

    I missed that one. Only knew about this one because of a report that today was extra popular for weddings with it falling on a Saturday.

    Another 1881

    8 is a lucky number in some cultures. It is likely the 8's not the faux palindrome that made it popular.

    All comments reflect the opinion of the author, evn when irrefutably accurate.

    2002 coins would be good... Not much for palindromes except the most famous one....

    Seems the past week, or so, has been palindromic.
    81018,81118,81218,81318,81418,81518,81618,81718,81818 & even today, 81918.

    So, I guess it will happen again next Sept 2019.

    Numbers are a curious thing.

    There is typically an “ere” in the middle of that quotation.
