Friend just came back from a trip to New York and let me have his change. :D

9 cents(!) plus a few quarters and whatnot:

I got 2 Ugly Abes (1964, 1981)

Not bad considering I don't have access to US coins en masse!

I like the other change too, I got:

1 Nickle
2 Dimes
5 Quarters (Hawaii, Tennessee, North Dakota and two eagles, best of which being a 1980 - my birth year!)
