Mrs.Brat used to put them inside those plastic eggs for the grandkids to “hunt” on Easter Sunday.

Throw .99 cents in the yard and tell the kids not to come in and bother you until they find the entire dollar.  Sexy time with wife can commence.  Quarters and solo cups are always a winning combo.   5 dollars of dimes wrapped in a coin roll in a sock makes a handy weapon.

Golf ball markers (dimes are best because they’re the thinnest though).

Why do the anti-penny-ites here love garden plant blight?

Dimes are the best because placed properly FDR will ensure that your ball will track all the way to the hole. This is why he is the greatest president in US history

Seems like getting rid of pennies and Daylight savings time would be really easy bi partisan bills.

What are we supposed to throw at the homeless if there are no more pennies?

My apt complex had the type where you stacked 2 quarters in the horizontal hole, pushed in, quarters fell, and pulled back out. 

It was very easy to cut a piece of cardboard slightly larger than a quarter, cram that into the hole, and it worked. 

 

 

Back to pennies: Just yesterday, I was checking my brake pads. Two pennies stacked is almost exactly three millimeters. If your brake pads are thinner than 3 millimeters, time to replace them. 

Although nowadays, brake pads have wear marks, so not really necessary anymore, I guess.

Someone on the UT Speech Team did a speech on why the US should get rid of the penny over 10 years ago, and he won the National Championship. 

 

I have no fucking clue what his speech was arguing though, but he won!

Find a penny and pick it up...

And all the day you'll have good luck.

Need a penny, take a penny. 

Need a quarter, get a job.

Yeah, but the high end ones will take plastic. Just make sure the pimp accepts your bank.
