What valuable coins should I look for in my change?

I hear about people finding valuable coins in the change they receive. My question is what coins can be found in change that are valuable from 1970 on. It would help me know what to look for. Sound like a good idea?

If someone has listed one please do not repeat. This may help others beside myself. Thanks in advance.

    There are simply thousands of coins made since 1965 that
    are scarce or rare and can be found in pocket change. Many
    of these already sell for large premiums and more are likely
    to in the future.

    The best bet is to simply start a set of whatever coin inter-
    ests you and very soon you'll start discovering what's widely
    available and what isn't.

    There are numerous threads and books on the subject. If
    others don't chime in with some specific examples I'll try to
    later.
