I found a penny :)

I'm fixing up a 1981 volkswagen rabbit. Removed the seats, carpet, shift boot to clean and replace. Jammed under the plate that holds the shifter was a 1981 penny. I wonder if someone at the factory jammed it under there or if an early owner lost it and it just got stuck there. I'm gonna put it back when I reassemble. :)

Coincidence? I think not!

Nice.It would make you wonder about its history.Putting it back is good. :-)

Put a 2012 (or 2013) in as well to signify when you did the restoration 😉

You kidding? I've got an 1864 Flying eagle penny... And many older large cents... Like 1814 and stuff...I'm a coin collector😉 and you know you find 1970s in your pocket change all the time right? 60s are a little rarer... I've even found weat backs in my change...

I recently got 3 mercury dimes and 5 old buffalo nickels in my change from a store.

WTF? You really came on this thread to brag about being a better penny finder than I am? What a dumbass.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why the Whig party was formed.

Jeez Ojibwe, pick up the pace. I mean everyone has at least one 1700s gold coin in their collection. I mean come on, 1981!?!?
Haha. 😉

It's good that you put it back. And the 2012 penny is a cool idea too.
Ojibwe Nov 19, 2012

I don't always find pennies, but when I do they're "an 1864 Flying eagle penny... And many older large cents... Like 1814 and stuff"

heh, guess he showed me.

Clearly missed the point that the car was a 1981 and the penny was 1981

Imagine what that penny is worth today!

I made my daughter sort through the coin bucket for a 2012 penny. She found a 1943 steel penny and thought she struck it rich. I had to tell her it's worth 16¢.

Excellent. Make it obvious they're together 😏
It's actually a pretty cool story.
Turfa approves 👍

Bullshit. Last Flying Eagle Penny was made in 1858. Nice try..."coin collector".

I got into coins and they are so interesting. Almost all quarters ,dimes, half dollars and dollars minted after 1964 are silver. I always keep my eye out and I've gotten lucky.

Haha BURN/FAIL.
Yeasterday i got a 1947 nickel and a 1965 dime as change at the same time. I dont usually look at dates, but the familiar sound of old money (yes it sounds different in the pocket) made me look.

In 1981 that would get you a bj from a nasty hooker.

Challenge: go find a hooker from 1981 and see if you can still get the same deal.
⇚Ǥʘʈʗɧά⇛ Nov 20, 2012

Check 9th st in modesto ca. The toothless hookers are still in the 1980's
