Safeway change machine gives up 1928 penny

[WilliamBoyd]

The local Safeway grocery store uses machines to dispense change,
I received some pennies, one of which looked funny.
By the way, I live in Northern California.

Where has it been for the past 80 years?

Most likely in a jar on some kids shelf, swapped that for some greenbacks and 10% surcharge!!!! jgas

Hello

Those old Canadian coins are some of my Fav. Coins, great find !!

Keep @ it and HH !!

I just posted the unusual penny.

I don't know who "Pelosci" is or what he has to do with Pennies.

The same store gave me a 1944 US penny a few months ago.

Scroll down and take a look at the "Coin Roll Hunting" section and see what people find mixed in with modern change...
