That's a surprise in a Walmart - especially if you are a long way from Canada ! I scored three 1929 Wheat cents from a
coin star machine reject tray ( made me wonder what all got accepted by the machine )

For the record I NEVER get that stuff in change....we eliminated the penny...And honestly thank ...somebody.
But good for you that is a good find in change. Never happened to me in 50 years.

First time I see a King George V Cent found in change, let alone in the US. I like the old style back too.

Cool find. Always check your store change. Sometimes I feel bad when I am walking away from the checkout and looking down at my change to see if there are any keepers in the pile. I always wonder if the cashier thinks I am recounting my change. Oh well.

Thanks, I'm always checking my change and have had a few tellers ask about what I was doing.
