    None, unless a few remain in my wallet.  I took my coin pouch to the bank last week....and let me say that the coin machine they have is a lot of fun.   I had over $27 just from dropping change in that little pouch in my car. This post was edited by Thriftymaid at September 27, 2021 8:59 PM MDT

    I have a canning jar almost full of them, plus some more in a jug. My bank will take them and send them to Brinks, who then count them and deposit them into my account. How clever.

    I'm telling you, the coin machine is a blast.  You have a choice to get the cash or just deposit it.  At my bank that's how it works.  Sounds like your bank has no machine.  You have to get up early to beat teachers credit unions.  ;)  I have not used a regular bank since I finished high school.

    Well over 500.  Old penny collections, a jar of wheat pennies, a bunch of rolled pennies waiting to go to the bank, as well as all the stupid Canadian pennies I've received in change over the years.

    Every one that I own. I even have an English Cartwheel Penny from 1797.

    I also have all four of the 1909 Lincoln cents.
    1909 - quite a few
    1909 VDB - several
    1909 S - a couple
    1909 S VDB - 1

    I also have many Indian head cents, large cents, Canadian pennies, and a bunch of English pennies.

    I've been collecting coins for about 67 years, and I have a lot of more than just pennies. 

    The 1909 S VDB you have posted here has a value of $1,200. uo to $1,550.00, according to the 2022, 75th edition of the R.S. Yeoman red book guide to United States Coins.  This post was edited by Wolfhound at September 27, 2021 1:49 PM MDT

    Nice. I had a complete collection of Lincolns, A complete set of large cents from 1816-1857 and a complete set of Mercs. I gave them to my children.

    It takes quite a while to collect all of those. Did you have the 1909 S VDB and the 1955 double die? 

    I hope your kids enjoy them.

    We have a wine jug about half full with change. But I rarely use cash these days. I carry my debit card, and every purchase gets rounded up to the next dollar with the roundup amount going into my Acorns account. Great app.

    None, my coin collection was stolen.  I spent a lot of time and money sorting, grading and filing my coins, now they are all gone.  The worst part is my Mother started the collection.  I had one VDB penny.

    A few that are EF in a collection. They were withdrawn from circulation in Australia (except as part of mint and proof sets) in 1992, when the value of the bronze in them by weight exceeded their face value.
