I pulled up by the vacuum (sp?) section by the car wash, got out to put my quarters in the machine, and noticed ALL the pennies on by the machine and on the ground belonging to the person on the other side. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/eek7.gif

thought to myself "heh, lot of pennies stuck in the seats" and went back vacuuming my car.... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...s/rolleyes.gif

then she got into her car and took off WITHOUT taking the pennies!!! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/eek7.gif

I COULDN'T believe it!

I counted the pennies that she left behind and came up with about 35 cents worth... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/disgust.gif since she seem do not care about the pennies so I took them


I gave them a new home in my penny jar... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Adam,

I have about 100 150 pennies that are taking over my pencil tray in my desk at work. As far as I'm concerned, if you ever find yourself in Minneapolis, they're your's my friend. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Adam: I agree, 35 cents may not seem like a lot to someone, but heck, it adds up. Yes, I pick up pennies, and I do roll them (along with other coins).

There has been some talk about discontinuing the penny as it is no longer a valid unitary value (anyone know of anything you can buy for a penny anymore?) http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif I have no idea how this stands now...if anyone knows of any information on this, let me know.

Saz... I turn them in at the bank yearly and usually come up about $90-$100 http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

yeah I heard about the discontinuing of the penny... that would be very difficult who tries to make change from sales tax... I mean how would it affect it?

here's an interesting piece of information

The government will just force business to round sales tax up to the nearest nickle. Shazam....extra tax revenue.

This is the mentality of many a millionare. One day Saz, you and Adam, will be very rich men and you will be able to ascribe it all to your penny hoarding days. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Thanks for the link, Adam!

Yes, as you see, $90-100 a year is not to be despised. That's at least a night in a good motel room on a vacation, or a month's phone bill. And people throw away pennies or leave them lying around. *sigh* Oh well...

I routinely give my pennies to the homeless, there are alot in Boston. I donate them to a group named "food not bombs". They set up in the Boston Commons ( a big downtown park) and distribute food to the homeless.( alot of homeless, its creepy in the winter, its so cold and they sleep in the subway stairwell and on park benches)

A penny spent to feed the hungry is a penny well-spent.

Lately my change ( copper and silver) has gone to the Red Cross and the World Relief Fund. If you dont have much like me, any small contribution helps right?

every little bit helps... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

i pick up any money i can find... pennies, nickles, dimes, quarters, dollars, fives, tens, twenties... as long as its in small, unmarked bills i'll take it! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no.../drooling1.gifhttp://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...hterpurple.gif

It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.
