    Default Is there something odd about 1967 pennies?

    I seem to have a steady supply of 1967 pennies and halfpennies in unexpectedly good condition. Is there something odd about this date?

    It was an issue year for both coins (not all coins are minted each year) and a lot of pennies were issued that year; the most in an issue - the last proper issue. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny...-decimal_coin)

    The sheer number in the issue means there are more of them within the denomination. Why they should be in be in better condition than others? Maybe because it was not that long until decimalisation and less circulated.

    That makes sense of it - I suspect that some of mine were deliberately hoarded as momentos - now they have been donated to the Hospice

    Are you sure that you don't mean 654 million and 146 million respectively? Your figures of millions of millions of each sounds a tad high.

    Yes...I agree...it's simple mathematics really! On the other hand as they would have been produced in London and not in "the Hole with the Mint in it" one never knows!
