HUNT #1: FINDING YOUR BIRTHDAY PENNY

As your guide, it is my duty to set you up for success. With so many interesting coins out there, it's easy to get distracted and even overwhelmed or discouraged. That is why we must start with the end in mind. The best strategy is to have a goal for your collection. That is why, today we will be hunting for our Birthday Pennies!

All you need to know is the year you were born. I was born in 1983. Your birth year is probably different than mine and that's great! What really matters is that when you find the coin you are hunting for, it will be something unique to you and worthy of being included in your personal collection. Now, enough chit-chat. Let's get our hands dirty and start searching some pennies.

If you can't get to the bank to buy rolls of pennies, that's okay. Look under the couch cushions or the ash tray in the car. There's lots of places pennies tend to accumulate. But, it's important to just get started.
