    Take all your coins out your wallet/purse. If they have dates, let us know the oldest one you got. Sorry, special or trick coins do not count. Mine is from 1991, and it is going into vending machine now :)

      A 1990 2p piece. Do you want me to email it to you?

        Damn. I want to play, but my eye sight is so poor the numbers are so tiny, I can't read the dates on the coins. :)

                  1965 Nickel.

                  It was broke, so I fixed it.

                        Sorry, we don't have any coins in Zimbabwe. If you want change for anything tough you get given a chewing gum or roll of insulation tape. Some supermarket chains (Spar and Checkers) print their own change tickets which can only be redeemed at the store where you originally bought. Lovely place I live in. But the beer is good. And the weather.

                            2000 pound coin. I've got a jar in front of me with [guesstimate] £10 in coppers, I'm sure I'll find an early 70's in there too.

                              It's good until it's used. Depending on its use, I can get as many coins as I want - to buy more bullets.

                                        Take all your coins out your wallet/purse. If they have dates, let us know the oldest one you got. Sorry, special or trick coins do not count. Mine is from 1991, and it is going into vending machine now :)

                                        I only have one coin in my pocket, a US Quarter from 1977. If I had a pocket full of change I probably wouldn't have played...

                                          2000 pound coin. I've got a jar in front of me with [guesstimate] £10 in coppers, I'm sure I'll find an early 70's in there too.

                                          That a very heavy coin you've got there, I'm surprised you can get it in your pocket! ;P
