      Or you can do what I did: save them, roll them, and buy a gun.

          They don't bother me, cash is cash. Every day when I get home I throw all my change in a big jar and about twice a year I cash them all in. I bought a new Ruger hunting rifle with the extra change before.

            Have you ever been pumping gas knowing you only have like $20 in your pocket? You're watching the price go up, tapping the handle up a bit higher the suddenly $20.02. Then you feel really good 'cause you remember you threw two pennies in your ash tray. It's like a little morale boost. Like 'hey I got 2 cents more gas (a lot now right? ). Anyways that's always a good feeling to me. Maybe I'm just strange

              That's probably the only time I've used a penny.

                What currency would we throw at others if we did away with pennies? Nickels? I rest my case.

                        and as for the gas pump, that reason is why god invented debit cards

                            The people who would suffer are those charities that have jars next to the cash registers. Like the ronald McDonald thing. I always drop all my pennies in there, but usually no silver.

                              Hey, at least we haven't gotten rid of the $1 bill. We could end up with something like the 1 pound or 1 euro coin. Of course the "gold" dollar (can't spell real name) coins are kind of fun but too big.
