There just hasn't been much of interest in my change lately. Nothing earlier than the mid 60’s, nothing newer than 2008. Combine that with limited free time, and what time is available for hobby pursuits being split between multiple interests… But for some reason I smiled a little when I got this ‘slightly abused’ penny in my change and it reminded me that I really needed to find time to keep up with posting.
