Mysterious Wheat Penny
I noticed a coin on the kitchen floor yesterday. For some reason, I knew just looking at it that it was a wheat penny.
This design is out of circulation these days so it's unlikely that one would find them in change. They're not extremely valuable. Just an interesting coin. I like to keep them when I happen upon one.
But how did this wheat penny find its way to the floor in the kitchen? No one but me has been in there, probably for a month. I would have noticed it before it had been on the floor very long. It isn't one of mine because I keep them squirreled away in a change purse that I don't use.
I'm happy to have another wheat penny, even with a curious history. It's a 1946 coin, with an S under the date. I think that means the San Fransisco mint. Keep this and you'll never go broke!
