What Revolution? U.S. History only goes as far back as Haight-Asbury these days.

I think the guy might deserve a break on that since the U.S. Mint calls them "pennies" on their website...


<< <i>Collecting Approaches

There are several popular approaches to collecting coins. For example, you can collect by series , type, theme and date. You can collect the coins you use everyday such as pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters - or buy specially minted coins made by the United States Mint including proof coins, uncirculated coins, mint sets, commemoratives and American Eagle bullion coins. You can also collect foreign and ancient coins. >>
