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

      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 :)

                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") :)

                      A bullet, like a coin, is good until it is spent. :-D

                      It was broke, so I fixed it.

                        1980 penny, and the legend is almost unreadable.

                          Not in my pocket, but I have some old coins at home like the huge R1 with the springbok on it :)
