While you may like the new dollar coins (aka Brass Bucks), are you willing to spend them in vending machines?

I don't know anyone who trusts the machines to actually register the coins as a dollar. They are still about the size of a quarter.

Quarters are more useful to me. I use them for the laundromat, vending machines, video arcades, slot machines, and candy purchases.

Don't dump the penny. If anything, at least put them into shotgun shells and shoot them at your enemies.
The old pre 1982 pennies are solid copper and worth the most scrap value of any coin currently minted and in circulation.

The newer post 1982 pennies are zinc and toxic if swallowed by children or fired into the gut of your enemies.

Kind of reminds me of an old cure for parasites in an aquarium....just drop a penny or two in the tank....Copper is a great parasite killer. Unfotunately, I had a penny drop in my tank a couple of years back on accident - it took 4 days for the penny to disappear! It just sort of errupted after 36 hours......

Zinc...what a lovely metal...
