What do you do with pennies?

You could screw around with the the next guy's head. You could dig a bunch of holes in a straight line the same way you started out in the park, about 1 foot apart. in the first hole put 1 penny and cover the hole. In the next, put 2 pennies, in the 3rd, 3 pennies, then 4. In the 5th hole put a nickel, the 6th a nickel and a penny. You get it.! I always wanted to do that. :clapping:
 
If the zinc pennies are too bad I just throw them away. The rest go in Coin Star.
Its a good idea to clean them first because the poor guy who owns the Coin Star will
have to deal with them.

I don't think all banks will take damaged coins. I took in $70.00 in change, washed, but they refused to
take them. They were not shiny enough! Talk about snobs. I don't know what the law is regarding this, but I should call my banks corpporate office
and complain and see if it gets me anywhere.

Get ya a rock tumbler Katz and tumble those coins for a while and they look as good as new.

And what do I do with pennies? Findem, cleanum, spendum. Just about everyone would be thrilled to death with a silver dime every time you go out hunting wouldn't they? For every 100 pennies you can trade them in for a silver dime. At the end of the year, instead of a bucket of pennies you can have a hand full of silver. It is just a matter of how you look at it.
 
nickles and pennys would probably be more expensive to melt down than aluminum or silver. takes 2 nickles or 10 pennys to make a dime. you would probably be better off putting them in the bank at even low interest.
 
Hi Folks; I think this has already been said but pennies 1959 to present you spend. Pennies 1958 and older you keep.
Jefferson Nickels except the 35% Silver WW2 ones you spend. All other Nickels you keep.

NOW: Lets Make this EASY Ok. Buy a copy of the R.S. Yeoman 2010 Guide to United States Coinage. More commonly called the Yeoman Red Book. It is basically the Bible of Coins from the 1600's to now. It lists every coin ever made, their prices, how to GRADE them and thier history. OK Get that Book and save yourself a "lot" of hedaches. I hope this helps. PEACE:RONB :thumbup:
 
I belong to a club called the Midwest Historical Research Society and we have a way of getting rid of all the clad pennies . What we do is have one member who tumbles the coins and then they are put into a bank then once a year we donate the total amount of all the save and tumbled pennies to a Charity which the club members vote on . This is one way to get rid of those pennies .

I save everything I find. I used last years clad to help pay for a camping trip to Gettysburg and Washington DC. The rest went to help with Christmas. I had a great year for clad last year.
 
I just used the Coinstar last week for $50 in newer pennies. All found last month with a Compadre.
 
what did they charge you. banks and credit unions will take them at no cost. you just have to roll them.
