You should see one of the mints, too. That's always fun.
I don't remember all he foreign currency I have at this point.
Yes, that's standard. I believe I have the same. More would be challenging.
That comparison makes it a little more understandable. I think the only entirely normal coins in my collection are a 1940 nickel and a pre-composition-change 1942 nickel. They have the exact same design as a 2003 nickel, but they're really old. And I have four coins that would be normal if they weren't damaged in some way.
Yes that sounds like a good experience. None are very close to here.
Neither do I. I've documented and/or photographed most of the foreign currency I've received from others, but not any of the coins I got myself. And my documentation excludes my Canadian and British currency as those are in separate containers from the rest.
Now I'm curious why they made so few of the 31-33 pennies.
I think I have the oldest Jefferson nickel (1938?) but it's a little damaged. In my opinion, since everything pre 1972 is 50+ years old now, that's enough reason in itself to collect them. Relics!
I think there used to be a mint in Louisiana? Not sure
I just have everything that's not in books thrown in a plastic tub at my parents. Needless to say, the tub weighs a lot.
Well, it was the Depression. Resources weren't being allocated to coinage. Same for 2009 and the early 10s with the recession... it's the reason behind why you're struggling to find the early national park quarters.
It gives you time to mentally prepare for the change
But honestly, you're probably used to being more self-motivated through homeschooling, and that's most of college, anyway. More often than not I hear that homeschoolers who chose to go to college do perfectly fine.

Ooh, the oldest Jefferson nickel would be a good one to have. (it was 38 or 39, I forget which ) When I was cashiering I saw plenty of coins that age... though when I see pennies that old out in the wild I save them because those (actually all before 83) are the best ones for squishing.
Oh yeah, there was a New Orleans mint. I forget when they stopped using that one, but it was a while ago.
Makes sense.
Ah yes that explains it, I did notice how the recession affected coinage when collecting the quarters. The 2009 territory quarters took a while for me to get... that also explains why the 2009 pennies aren't as common as one might expect.

Yeah.
I'm not worried about grades. I'm more worried about there being people there.

It is surprisingly easy to avoid people, admittedly.

You engage in the sacrilege of those turning pennies into weird flat things nonsense?
Yes. Fun facts from benboy. I still don't have all the denver versions of the '09 pennies. I think I might not even have any 2009 dimes

I do indeed, I have a nice little collection of those.
I have Denver versions of all except the one of Lincoln standing in front of a government building. It took me a while just to get all four designs. I have around two dozen 2009 pennies altogether. (squishing those would be sacrilege )

Interesting...
The only coin I collect all the versions of are the bicentennial quarters. Those were produced over two years, so there are still plenty going around.
