Well, big deal! My daughter just got a 1937 penny in change the other day!

That's cool! One can still find nickels minted in the 50's. Probably because there's no silver in them. When I was in junior high, all silver coinage before 1964, except nickels, disappeared from circulation as folks found and sold them for their silver content.

I wish I'd kept all those silver coins I used to get. I did keep quite a few, but not enough! Now I know that a couple times in the past 10 years I got either a silver quarter, dime, or war nickle in change. Once when I was kid (around 1964) I got a 1909 VDB in change!
