Dunno.
The 1908 penny wasn’t worth much at the time since it had been damaged.
Somebody had heated it up with a candle for some reason.
*WHY?!*

There are $2’s still in circulation, I get them as change at the bank every now and then.
I should have collected an example of our older green tinted money before they turned it all into that hideous Euro style monopoly money.

I might be totally wrong, but I remember one summer my folks schlepped the family to FDR’s house and they had some old money in the museum there. I think it was Depression era or before, and it was clear?

I think I have one or two green copper pennies. I remember those. The teacher used them to explain how the Statue of Liberty turned green.
