I like to delve into a box of nickels from time to time. I'm in the process of rebuilding my nickel stash....

I found my first several 2013's also. I would run across one from time to time when I got pocket change.

I hope to complete my 2009 set in the near future.

Nothing like free silver to brighten your day! I received my first War Nickel back in change today! A nice looking one from 1942!

Free Silver! Bonus!

Lucky you! The most I've found are a few in a box of nickels. Can't afford to hold on to all the nickels but I do try to keep nickels and pre 1982 pennies in change. Anyone notice how we don't seem to find coins on the ground anymore? I guess all the plastic being used.

i pick coins up off of the ground just about everyday...they're still out there!

I still find plenty of coins on the ground and in vending machines and Coinstar machines. In 2006 I found a $10 bill on the ground while traveling, shortly after finding a $100 bill near a cash register in a retail store. Yes, I stood and waited a few minutes in case some little old lady came back to where she dropped it. But nobody came back.

I found a twoonie yesterday while raking the grass on boulevard in front of my
house. It only became visible in the grass if you were looking from just the right
angle.

Sounds like a neat idea, anything to make it more interesting.

I've also noticed lately that there aren't nearly as many coins on the ground best I've ever found is $5, three separate times. 2 $5 bills, and one pile of dirty quarters .
