I picked up the Apollo 11 set from the US Mint booth.

I also picked up a bunch of cents (and silver) from a bargain bin that was marked "50% off marked price", including a BU 1960P small cent, a BU 1960D-1MM-001, and several other items (pretty cheap).

I also picked up this little novelty. It is called a Nixon Penny, to make fun of inflation at that time. Actually since they used a 1964 cent, wouldn't that be a Johnson Penny? I put the little penny beside a real penny...

That's neat, I've seen sets of mini coins.

The other neat ones are the shrunk real coins, made with powerful electro magets like these:

I enjoyed Long Beach when I was on the West coast.
