I would prefer to “build the change” of Pennies, Nickels, Dimes, and Quarters, especially pre-1982 Pennies made completely of Copper and pre-1964 Dimes and Quarters made completely of Silver. An old Indian Head Nickel would be super for numismatic collectability, but not to be expected.
Doesn’t even take much work except searching your pocket change or going metal detectoring on a beach, so there’s that for you. 😁
