Which Pennies are Still in Circulation? - Have you ever looked at the dates of the pennies in your pocket? A group of fourth grade students at the Erving Elementary School in Erving, Massachusetts did and they discovered some very interesting information. This web site will share those students' penny information with you and give you the opportunity to conduct your own penny circulation research project. After you have conducted the experiment, you can add your data to the site and share your discoveries with others!
