Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.
- Bots aren't allowed.
- Banned users will have their posts removed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

There are specific valuable pennies that are worth more than their copper value, like steel pennies from 1943, copper wheat error penny (also 1943), double die (I think from the 50s?), Indian head (pre-1909) etc.
There's obviously a huge incentive to know whether your currency is above face value, so I feel like 99.9% of notable coinage has already been removed.
When your boomer/greatest gen relatives graduate from this planet, it's always a good idea to look between the cushions of that mid-century sofa they couldn't part with, and everywhere else that can hold such treasures. Sweet old Meemaw and Peepaw may have left the musty davenport in the will, but overlooked the actually good stuff!
