you ever throw away pennies?

[coldblue1955]

I pick up all pennies that I see.

I've always heard it was good luck too!

The stamp machine at my corner post office takes pennies, so I save all my pennies, and pick up pennies, for my monthly bill-paying day.

I always look when i walk, i'll snatch up a penny in a sec. Quarters don't hurt either.
Once i found a 24 carat gold ring someone had dropped--it pays to look for pennies.

I give all my pennies to my mother.

I find a lot of change. That's the only advantage to being a shoe-gazing depressive introvert. That, and working in a bar...

"Pick up the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves." Or something to that affect. I usually frog march my son up and down the streets in town and make him pick up the pennies for me. I stay at a distance of course, just close enough so that he is constantly aware of my authorita.

My Dad really used to do something similar to that.

When I lived in Atlanta, I save my pennies for 6 years.
When I was ready to move back to FL, I had 3, 5 gallon water bottles FILLED with nothing but pennies. I had to make an appointment at the bank at the slowest time to cash them in. (A Wednesday afternoon at 2pm). I had to get a dolly to move the bottles and my friend and I used his truck to transport them.We barely got them into the truck. We had to get 2 other guys from the bank to help lift these things when we got there.

I think the amount I had deposited into my account was close to $1,000.

Wow, that's a heck of a lot of pennies!!

I save them too & the coffee at Wawa is $1.09 so I give them a buck + 9 pennies.....

I once found $10....actually found 2 $10 bills....

 

[Delinquent]

I always throw them out or tell the clerk not to give me any. Such a waste of space. I wouldn't mind if they rounded everything up to the nearest nickel as I'm really not that anal regarding a few cents.

 

[Smurfy]

i was cleaning out from under my couch this morning and i threw away 3 pennies in addition to several million of those little plastic army guys, 4 balls from the hungry hungry hippo game, 4 broken crayons, and 5 string cheese wrappers.

 

[gonelifting]

Don`t walk over dollars to pick up pennies.

i only throw away pennies when i am literally throwing them... like the people who are advertising stuff on the side of the road... human sticks... or signholders.

 

[coldblue1955]

ever find old pennies from the 30's or earlier? I bet they are worth more than one cents.

 

[stuffperson]

They might be worth more than a penny, but who the fart is going to buy that old penny? I've got a load of old coins, no one has ever expressed the slightest amount of interest in them. I'd sell them in a heartbeat by the way, while coin collecting may appear to be a glamorous hobby, it can take you through hell and back.

The penny is costly to produce and maintain. It hurts the American economy.

The penny has been around since around the late 1700's. Back then, you could actually buy something with a penny. Nowadays, it's worth about 1/100th of it's original value.

What can you buy with a penny?

A penny saved is a penny earned, which is, coincidentally, about how much it costs the U.S. Mint to make a penny.
