[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I once got a 1921 and a 1929 penny in change at McDonalds during the same purchase. They are years of my parents’ births. I still have them. You don’t see many zinc pennies (1943?) anymore, they used to be common.

the 43 pennies were steel.

The zinc is what we have now, covered with a thin layer of copper.

That is so cool! Getting them at the same time is very cosmic!
