Not yet. Cents have always been the first to appear. In SE Wisconsin we have received a mighty blast of 2014-P cents. They are everywhere. Grabbed two rolls at a stop on my way home tonight, and sure enough, solid 2014-P's!!!

Edited -- odd too, as this has always been Denver country (for whatever reason), but not quite as much in the last five years or so.

I've seen a lot of really nice 2014 Philly cents in my area over the last two weeks, at places like the local grocery store and my usual morning coffee stop. I keep expecting one to be a 2015 but I guess the banks are still busy moving out last year's stock ahead of them.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

The earliest I ever got a new coin was a 1973 cent on Jan. 6 of that year. Noticed that they had changed the size of the reverse initials and sent it off to Coin World. Must have been a slow news week because it made the front page.

Seriously, I usually don't see a current year coin until at least mid-year (although I hardly ever use change, anyway. Nearly 100% of what I buy I use a credit card, no matter what the amount).

I was in an Huntington bank in OH today, picked up $25.00 box of cents, Brinks. Did not open any of the clear plastic rolls yet, however, most of them are dark on the edges, a few Canadians on roll ends. Will do a search for wheat cents and key's. Going to be cold, have not sifted through a box for ages, So..........Don't expect any 15's, from this box.

Might be a distribution type thing. That happened here in Houston in 2009 with the first Lincoln cent design. Denver had not struck any, or very few, and to get a more even distribution of the first batch released we got the 2009 P's first. It's almost always D mint here.
...How do the cents look as far as spotting issues...

Received my first 2015 coin (2015-D Lincoln Cent) at PDX (Portland International Airport) last Wednesday, 3/18/15 on my way to the Las Vegas coin show.
Then I received my first 2015-D nickel at the Riviera Casino on Sunday, 3/22/15 (yet, another souvenir from a soon-to-be relic of the past.)
I must be a coin collector at heart as I tend to save the first new coin of the year found in change. I even house it in a safety flip and mark the date & location found on the insert!

i had not noticed one until i started getting 2015 pennies in almost all my change this past week. They must have just delivered them to my area recently.
