College laundromats and car washes. 

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).

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

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 it hard to get worked up over this. The decision should have been made 20 years ago but the rumor is the IL politicians didn’t want to get rid of it due to Lincoln being oh the penny. Given that so many payments are electronic, it won’t matter to for many consumers.

it also doesn’t ban the penny, we just won’t make more. As they become more scarce, just round the change down.

Getting rid of the penny, and destroying the Univ of Alabama along with the economy of the state of Alabama all in one week would be (among) the greatest things a person has ever done.
