They expired March if this year. So yeah, they were expired. By four months..... not fourteen years so I’m not really sure where you got the 14 years time frame.

Sorry - I was looking at what was the dot matrix style printing on the "copper" end - looks like it reads "05" on every one and figured that meant 2005. That was where the expiration date was marked until they moved it to the black section with the other labeling.

Perhaps the world's tiniest shell collection?


Of particular interest, a mini sand dollar, found at one Hawaii beach only:

Wow! Saw those and thought, “yeah those are tiny.... then I realized your coin of scale was a dime. Dang!!!!

I did the same thing when I found a hermit crab in one at Benga Lagoon. Even used a dime as well. Now I need to find it to post.
