This day the Time Machine is balky and you can only bring home 454 grams of coins?

GPS is down too, so you have to stay in the US for your back in time trip.
What do you do?

Roll hunting
1 cent 1955
5 cents 1939 Nickel for DDO, DDR,QDR
10 cents 1942 and 42 D
10 cents 1916 d
10 cents 1871 cc 72 cc 73 cc 74cc
Early days
1787 Fugio cents
1794-95 flowing hair dollar
1804 dollars
I would keep one each of any acquired denominations, sell the rest and become the Jefferson Nickel King of 2018-2060
(Maybe pay off the house note too)

Wrestle the 1794 specimen Dollar from Martha's grip and the arithmetic is moot.
No coins for me ....... I will take 16 oz worth of Surf N' Turf
I'll take the 1794 Dollar as well. Too easy. Bring it back and sell for 10M and buy all the Dimes I want or need!
...just let me go back to Feb 3rd 2008 so I can drop a duffle bag of cash on the NY Giants moneyline...and I’m not coming back
Here are the rules. You hop into the machine. Set the time, date and place (US only) of your choosing.
Your stay can be as long as 48 hours (Give Harvey Stack time to get the shop open) and acquire the coins of your choice to return with as long as they don't exceed 454 grams total.
You might select 1917 where you could get 1916 SLQ's as well as S VDB cents on the cheap.
You could also head to 2007 and pick up Jackie Robinson $5 gold commems for $4000 a pop.
Enjoy the trip.
Carbon footprint concerns have limited the time machine to only the occasional jaunt. For every three trips the operator is required to buy a new Tesla.
Well, I’m going to cheat a little.
Google didn’t know how much a large size currency note weighs and I’m not near a gram scale so I’m estimating we can get about 300 large size notes back in our bag.
I’m going to a large bank and choosing a stack of interesting notes, mostly in sequence and larger denominations. I’m sure there will be some watermelons in my bag along with a technicolor note or two and?????? Just lots of zeros on mine please.

A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
Put me down for some Chain cents and
a few 1799 high grade cents. I don't even
collect these but I know there future history.
But how much can I bury in a hermetically sealed container in a forest that I know will be part of an original growth forest park when I get back?
You mean like my Saddle Ridge hoard?

Zip back to 1806, bring back rolls of 1792-1805 half dimes. Best value/weight ratio i can think of.

Either 1870 San Francisco for the half dime, quarter, Seated dollar and $3 gold, or 1873 Carson City for the No Arrows dime and quarter.

Yup. I’m down for some pristine early half dimes, but it’d be pretty hard to not grab some small eagle early gold too.
zoom to Phily early 1933 with $270 in redeemable FRN's in hand. walk up to cashier for seven fresh $10 Eagles.
and I guess I could grab ten $20 Doubles while I am there
grab my receipt and run like hell!
Might work for the Eagles, though they might have insisted on Gold Certificates. By the time the $20’s were theoretically available, you may get have needed to swap $20 coins for $20 coins.
Since no one would accept modern coins in exchange for their coins, it would have to be barter.... so I would have to take a pound of gold bars (in half ounce size) in order to get the rarities desired....I guess exchange for '33 Double Eagles with an official receipt (to prove ownership) would be a good idea...Then sell them for $2 million apiece...Cheers, RickO
Paper receipt would never survive transmogrification. You could probably mail it registered in 1933 and pick it up a few days after you get back to 2018.
The receipt would not be transmogrified.... it would survive intact, just as the gold. Cheers, RickO
...at best it would change the ink to kool Aid green.
Anything 1790's would do for me!

I'd bring back nothing except the map to the location I buried everything, this way I can stash as much as I wanted. Coming from the future I have the knowledge that the area would remain unsearched and unbuilt on.
A few 1792-dated coins, and just enough other stuff to get the time machine fixed and make a more fruitful trip.

I would be afraid I might cause some type of paradox and all the coins go poof!
easy , 17 Mar 2010, buy $20 in bit coin. I have a twenty in my wallet that will work in 2010 right now.
