Has anyone spotted a 2005 "Ocean in view! O! The joy!" nickel?

If anyone runs across one and would like to set it aside for me, I'd be appreciative. I would compensate you for it (perhaps going as high as 6¢, for your troubles). I think they're a top contender in the "Most Charming Currency" competition, but haven't seen a one.

I've seen a couple of those, and I agree they're really cute. If I come across another one, I'll let you know.

I'd never seen one, but then I checked my pocket, and I do actually have one. It's kinda tarnished, so if you want one to keep and admire, it's probably subpar. It is cute, though.

I just had one in my pocket yesterday! I was showing it to my boss and saying how un-coinlike it looked. He told me about collecting pennies as a kid in the '50s. I thought briefly about keeping it, but later that night used it to pay for a sandwich.
