So. Since pennies are out of circulation does that make my father in law's big water cooler jugs of pennies "coin hoards" in the archeological sense?
People think coin hoards are strange, but I bet you know someone with one right now.

@futurebird It's been out of circulations since 2012 for Canadians, and my friends still have large penny cans/jars. Unlikely to be valuable for quite some time.

@futurebird my parents still have a jar of 1 and 2 cent coins from when they went out of circulation 30 years ago here, at least last I checked. But I think this kind of hoard, where it's created by the lowest denomination coins becoming valueless, only starts being common with fiat currency

@futurebird I mean, its like free beanie baby day for the coin collecting community I imagine. I only have a modest collection but I have a superstitious impulse to "if I find a penny pick it up" so its probably the moment in history where I decided it could be very affordable to collect coins.
