10th Anniversary (19 days late)

Ten years+!

What I have been busy and forgot. Plus I no longer count my visitors via Sitemeter so I kind lost track.

Tin/Aluminum or Diamond Jewelry Anniversary

Finally traditional anniversary items that are coin related (I'll add pictures later). Tin and aluminum are cheap and has been used in coins for a long time. They do not last as long but can be easily shaped.

Coined For Money Blog

Almost 3 million visitors which is an estimate since Sitemeter, the blog visitor counter, is no longer functioning properly. I still have Google Adsense that track visits but does not display. Not much else different behind the scenes at this blog. I still track everything via spreadsheets. I have been using my phone more often to access the spreadsheets. It keeps me from getting too many repeats.

My finds have lessened from last year. People are buying more and using cash but at least in my change finds it has been mostly new coins. Whatever filter being used to keep "funny money" out of our change it is working.

I started a Facebook page for this blog but am reluctant to share it because I am losing visitors everyday so it may not be a good idea.

It does not seem like ten years but then again when I look back it seemed so simple and quaint. I started as a place to post about low value change finds and a place to ask questions the big time collectors do not. This blog still does that but now it is also a tracker and a trend finder. I see pattern in my finds that I would not notice, also the questions let me see what casual collectors are still confused by.

Looking into the future 

Total integration is still possible but lack of time is my biggest issue. I am working a lot so that is good. Yet I will still accept donations to try and keep this blog relevant and up to date.

I thank you all and keep those questions coming
