    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 1982 penny - no mint mark. Curiously, no other denomination is older than 2000, but several of the pennies are form the '90s and late '80s. I'm guessing pennies stay in circulation longer than other coins. Of course, this could be a regional thing. I live next to a bunch of casinos, and most people play $.05, $.10 and $.25 machines. This might cause the local coin population to be skewed, as the machine wear out coins quickly, and pennies would wear the least.

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

                          1961 US cent. I can't believe I spent all that time doing this :) (I have a cup full of pennies that I "donate" to occasionally, just to lighten my pockets.)

                            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.

                            Is that a 2000 pound coin in your pocket or are you just glad to see your wife? (I was not about to say "me") :)
