Coin and Paper Money Collecting/Pennies from Denver and other places

Question
If you are collecting pennies, should you collect the ones from Denver too?  Are the ones from Denver worth more or less?

Answer
Denver and Philadelphia are the two mints that make coins for circulation.  Collectors usually collect coins with the same date from both Mints, but you can do whatever you like.
Modern coins from the 1980's on have about the same value for the pennies in Mint State condition.
