    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 :)

        1965 Nickel.

        It was broke, so I fixed it.

          How long is bullet good for? Does it expire at some age?

            Wow! Just think if you could somehow track the history of that coin since it came from the mint.

              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.

                        In my coin jar is a bag of US coins with a 1956 nickel. Get in there!

                              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...

                                      1980 cent and 1980 quarter are the oldest in my pocket. Oldest I own is an 1856 cent. Yes, that's "18".

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

                                          Instead of dates, then you could post the bullet's calibre instead. :)
