Pennies

Bucket List Thing the Second is achieved. My collection of pennies from every year since decimalisation is, for the next month, complete.

If you're reading this, you probably saw on facebook that I offered one Yorkie bar per day remaining in the year to anyone who could present me with a 2012 penny.

This wasn't as interesting a challenge as I'd hoped. At least four people claimed to have 2012 pennies for me, and Jonty and Hannah dropped in the next day to claim the maximum prize.

This is what 35 Yorkie bars looks like...
...and this is what a penny from every year between 1971 and 2012 looks like.
