Penny's Are no more.

[Eliminator21vdrive]

How many do you have and are you going to keep them?

I know ya ballas got no need for penny


I have saved change and odd bills for the majority of my life for no real reason .

 

[Hypnautic]

Rarely carry cash. When I did the change just ended up sitting in cars center console.
Would empty it out every year and deposit it into kids bank accounts.
Would be on average $3-400 total per year.

I did have Penny, Nickle, Dime and Quarter collector books growing up. They are filled with coins some going back to 1900. They are in some box that I have no idea where it may be.
GrandFather got our 3 kids the Quarter books with all of the state issued quarters.

 

[Gelcoater]

Have about a half a sparklets water bottle full of them.
I think there’s a crown royal bag or two with assorted change out in the garage somewhere.

I’ll have enough penny’s from them to last the rest of my life.

Had some coin books when I was a kid, was a fun hobby.
Had all the steel pennies from the WW2 era, many silver dimes and quarters, Indian head pennies etc, and a few rare bills, $2 bill silver certificate , another $2 bill with red ink in places, don’t remember what it was called.
All got stolen out of my dads condo sometime in the late 80s

Well the kids debit got hacked, $1600
Asshats paid something at the DMV and a couple other places.

Inflation is a bitch.

Recovering solid copper pennys will no doubt be lucrative in metal value. I am sure they have been already and releasing plated.

 

[Nordie]

Doesn't it cost more than a penny to make a penny? Seems like a wise decision to me to end it, unless the cost was even.

You may have to move it up to a dime because Nichols cost 14.3 cents to make.

Knew 2 brothers that lived around the block and they also had a sparkletts bottle full of change 'bout 3/4 full. One night when they were watching TV, it exploded.
Said it sounded like a gun shot and scared the shit out of them.

 

[rivermobster]

The only thing a penny is good for is...

Putting it on the railroad tracks, and then trying to find it after!

I have been hearing it costs .03 to make a penny, all day.

 

[ltbaney1]

I will probably go get at least 2 rolls from the bank to stick in the safe for my kids. Right next to the couple of $2 bills I have for them in there.

Exactly what I wanted to do a few weeks ago when my 6yo daughter lost her first tooth. But she was so excited to get money from the tooth fairy so she could buy her own toy, I slipped her $5.

 

[monkeyswrench]

I ain't proud of if, but last year I "cashed in" a couple year's worth of change. 4 Folger's cans full
1200 bucks!

Bought my first car with change in a plastic Spatlets bottle...about 700$ in 1991. 64½ Mustang shitbox.

 

[oldman]

The only ones that will be worth anything are the Copper ones, And I've saved every one i've ever got, the new standard will be .05 increments

 

[SoCalDave]

I fukin hate penny's

 

[JUSTWANNARACE]

If you can find the silver Penny's from the copper shortage they are worth few cents..

 

[rrrr]

There are 240 billion pennies in circulation. I don't think there's going to be a shortage anytime soon.
