Thanks for sharing!

My bet is that only a few are found and redeemed. After all its only "a penny".

I wonder if a Coinstar machine would accept one of these pennies. I guess that depends on the composition, which may be a secret to prevent counterfeiting.

And a winner!

2 in Chicago. http://abc7chicago.com/finance/lucky-pe ... d/1562945/

It would be interesting to hear the conversation if a Lucky Penny finder bumped into a Pokemon Go player.

3 found in North Carolina! http://myfox8.com/2016/10/25/3-of-100-l ... charlotte/

I wonder if any of these were found by homeless people or others who have no idea that they are really worth $1,000. They could just think it is some kind of gimmicky play money type thing.
