Last night's coins were OK.
255 small dollars turned up one new variety for me, the 2009P Sacagawea. I'm not sure if this variety was issued for circulation. I know the 2009D was. I've found plenty of those.
2,160 quarters yielded just five Canadians and a Bermuda 25¢.
3,300 dimes produced three silver Rosies (1953D, 2 x 1964), four Canadians and a UK 5 pence (2004).
I did well with the nickels. In 920 of them I found two Buffaloes (1919, 1935), one War Time (1944P), three Canadians, a US penny and a US quarter. The Buffaloes both have readable dates. The 1919 is in pretty good condition, especially for its age, but on the obverse is some pink paint. I might try and see if I can get that off somehow. I at first thought the quarter was a mint error as it is the size of a nickel, but now I'm not so sure. The thickness of the coin is similar to a quarter, so I think someone just chopped it down to nickel size for some reason. I also found a key date Jefferson, the 1955.
2,300 pennies rounded up just seven Wheats, nineteen Canadians, seven US dimes and a UK penny (1998). The Wheats were:
1934, 1944, 1945(2), 1946, 1957D, 1958, 1958D

On the 2009-P Sacagawea. Yes, these are being issued for circulation.
For 2009, they started using a new reverse design that will be changed each year, and started calling the coins Native American Dollars.
The US Mint is actually required to have 20% of all dollar coin production in the form of the Native American Dollars, so there will be lots of them.
