I managed to get to the bank today & pick up a few rolls of cents thru quarters, in the shattered hope that I'd find some 2023 & 2024 dates we still need.
I started off with pennies, and was taken aback by the fact that the Shield reverse has now been out for a DOZEN years!! Almost the same amount of time that has elapsed sine my detached retina & subsequent job loss/retirement..... Feels like just yesterday!! Wondering what I, "Mr Rip Van Winkle", have been doing with myself all this time!!

What'd you call me!?
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
The percentage of shield reverse to the old pennies is getting very high since the only cents that last in circulation are the pre-'83 coppers and they're getting removed by copper speculators.
The things that made me feel old recently: Realizing that our current $20 bill design came out 20 years ago, and that the earliest State Quarters are now a quarter century old!
I started collecting a couple of years after the Lincoln Memorial reverse came out, and they were still scarce in circulation.
