2017 COINS FIRST TO FIND

The 2017 coins should be starting to show up soon. I have enjoyed seeing where and when each coin has been found first, so I thought I would start a new thread for 2017. Post where and when you find them and I will try to put date and finder in this first post. If you don't mind it might be interesting to know what city or at least what part of the country the coin was found in.

Thanks everyone!

Moderators, please move this to the tracking section if that is where it should be. There are still some unclaimed spots in the 2016 FIRST TO FIND thread. Whats up with the Canadians? Someone must have found a 2016 Canadian coin by now?

Wonder how our military bases overseas get resupplied with coins and currency? Does the Treasury ship them bags of 2017 coins, or does DoD have a contract with someone like American Express? Does ANY foreign base conduct business with MPCs now?

I'm sure those are out there, and only those who look at pennies will notice. Good luck!
Also- the first post needs an edit. As a guy living in NC, I'm sure SC people don't want us claiming their town. ;)

I wanted to go to that one, but was out of state. I hear that it's a great show... maybe next year.

My son got an Effigy Mounds Quarter in his change at school for lunch yesterday (3/16). We let him buy lunch once or twice a month, and he comes home with 3 quarters. Mint mark of P... Raleigh NC. It's in his quarter folder, and he's still missing a good half dozen or so state parks quarters.

Thanks for posting everybody. So far we have 6 different people with a first to find. As usual I still havent seen a 2017 coin yet. I am hoping to do better than last year when I saw my first 2016 coin on June 12th. Speaking of 2016 coins, there are still a few open spots for first to find for quarters. Also no one has reported any 2016 Canadian coins yet.

Found my first 2017's this week. Three of them! A few days ago found a Philly penny. It's pretty neat seeing the P on there. Today, in the till at work, I found a P and a D nickel! Pretty early for D to show up in western NY!
