This game works sort of like the "UNO" or "Crazy Eights" card games do, but only on a very basic level. (For one thing, it never ends, haha.) HOW TO PLAY: 1. If the last coin posted was a regular-issue U.S. coin, you have to post a coin of the same date OR the same type (NOT just the same denomination). Note: Commemoratives, Hard Times and Civil War Tokens, or patterns can be considered all one "type". So if the last person posted a 1920 Pilgrim half dollar, for example, you may play any US commemorative coin OR anything dated 1920. Likewise, an 1863 Civil War token could be followed by any other Civil War token or any coin at all dated 1863. 2. If the last coin posted was a World coin, you have to post a coin of the same date OR from the same country. Type or denomination do not matter in this case. If you post a non-US coin, though, be sure to type in the country, since the next player might not be familiar with it, and will need to know where to play from. Whatever you post must be a dated coin, though. Note: Dual-dated coins (like Bicentennial issues, for example) are sort of "wild cards" for the next player. For example, if I post a "1776-1976" Bicentennial quarter, the next person has three options: he or she may post a Washington quarter OR a 1976-dated coin OR a 1776-dated coin. Get it? It isn't as hard as it sounds. Here, I'll start, with an 1842 Seated Liberty half dime. So the next person has to either post a coin dated 1842, or a Seated Liberty half dime - not just any type of half dime. Get it? Let's go! :) January 2026 edit: Had to completely rework this original post, more than 20 years after the thread began, since the original pics had gone bad and the formatting got wonky after the 2016 software change. Figured I'd add a fun AI-generated banner image while I was at it.

Was sitting in my truck waiting for my high schooler to get out of baseball practice. Where I have a handful Wheats that a Coinstar rejected.
