Today we add the Five Cent to the list of 2008 coins encountered. Still no sign of either the Ten Cent or Dollar coins, and so far the few 2008 coins to pass my way have all been Denver mint. But at least we're seeing them. The 2008 coins are no longer in the same category as Big Foot and the Loch Ness Monster!
