1909 S VDB is a penny collection game where the object is to collect all 305 Lincoln pennies in circulation from 1909 to 2020. The odds of getting a particular penny are based on how old the penny is, where the penny was minted, and the quantity produced. When I was a kid, my mom would take me to the bank to buy rolls of pennies so that I could sift through them looking for rare pennies. I would get 20 rolls at a time, hoping to find new pennies to add to my collection. This game is the result of me wanting to relive that experience and hopefully let others experience the joy of coin collecting. I added a few mini games involving pennies where you can try to earn a few more penny rolls if you run out. • Game Center support for Leaderboards. • Play for Free for as long as you like. • Free penny rolls every 24 hours. I hope you enjoy playing 1909 S VDB. NOTE: You may disable in-app-purchases on your device using the Settings application.
