Where in the bushes under the Lincoln Memorial on a five dollar bill is the number 172?
The 172, 173 or 175 as some people claim it to be can be found on the bottom left. At the bottom it say FIVE DOLLARS, look just above the F. the 2 in 172 is just above the green triangle in the F that separates the two horizontal lines in an F. The 7 is just left of that and in my opinion is the easiest to see. It is a mere optical illusion where your mind is associating the shape of the leaves with familiar shapes. The 172 does not mean anything, It is not a conspiracy, and in fact it does not exist, except in your mind trying to find order in chaos.

What is the value of a Lincoln memorial penny collection dated 1959-1982?
Worth a penny, unless uncirculated or proof. Some collector might buy it for more, though. As of mid-2009 there have been no reports of "mule" cents dated 2009 but carrying the Memorial reverse. However many 2009 cents are still in bank vaults because demand for coins is down so if any were accidentally struck they may not have reached circulation. You'll need to have the coin authenticated by a dealer or appraiser who's familiar with errors. It could also be a fake coin made using the same machining techniques that produce all those "rare" magician's coins with 2 tails or 2 heads.
