I found a 1909 wheat penny today in my change. Is it worth anything? I
am not a collector so I don't know anything but a coin 100 years old
seems to me like it might be worth something.

Knowing more on the condition of the coin and where it was
minted would help. Four versions in 1909.

The link below will give you more information on the 1909
Lincoln Wheat Penny.

That's nothing.
I found a 1933 double eagle in my cornflakes this morning!
When I walk down the street, I find 1964 silver Peace dollars at every
step!
When my cats poop, gold ingots come out!

About two hours gao, I was asked to look at a group of coins owned by
the sibling of my wife's nursing friend; there was only one Morgan
dollar but it was an 1889-CC in VG-8!!! Not bad and not a made up
story.

Sounds rather satisfying.
I had to look it up (because I am only very new with US coinage), but
that's the sort of find that surely makes it all worthwhile for the
numismatic beachcomber.

First, check the back, at the bottom. There will either be a V.D.B. in tiny
letters or there won't.

Under the date there will either be a letter S or there won't.

Check those two areas and report back.
