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.
thought to myself "heh, lot of pennies stuck in the seats" and went back vacuuming my car.... then she got into her car and took off WITHOUT taking the pennies!!! I COULDN'T believe it! I counted the pennies that she left behind and came up with about 35 cents worth... since she seem do not care about the pennies so I took them I gave them a new home in my penny jar... 'a penny saved, a penny earned' ------------------ HEY! get away from my homepage!! You know who and what I am... what are you going to do about it? |

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?) I have no idea how this stands now...if anyone knows of any information on this, let me know. ------------------ I know who you are...I saw what you did! |

I mean how would it affect it? here's an interesting piece of information http://accounting.smartpros.com/x30483.xml ------------------ HEY! get away from my homepage!!
