Post 22+ years of marriage I packed my collection away for a few months but, still had "the bug". So I started a Canadian 25 Cents collection (non-silver) and only circulating coins (1968 to present).
Picked up my last piece to the puzzle (1983) last week. Of course, 1997 and 1998 are not included as they did not circulate. Probably in anticipation of their Commem. overload in 1999 and 2000 (almost 700,000,000 in 2 years).
Fun and inexpensive little project I can keep adding to for years to come.

That is a great project. Collecting coins from circulation is one of the purest and most exciting ways to collect. It is also one of the cheapest. I am yet to trade for any of the US State/National Park quarters because I want to find them all in circulation. It makes getting change fun! Thanks for sharing.
