Through the website. Maybe you just got one of the ghetto checkout carts where only 3 wheels touch the ground.

"A cent is one hundredth of a dollar, so it's fucking retarded to be able to have five cents or ten cents, but not simply be able to have one."

no, you're missing my point

i'm saying its even more retarded to have to worry about fucking pennies...they're pretty much worthless...if i have to pay $1.99 for something with tax, I do not give a fuck about getting a penny back. Let the vendor keep it. And if something is $2.01 with tax, fuck it, round down.

Pennies are such a hassle, I've never heard someone advocate them as much as you. I think most people would happily get rid of pennies all together so we don't carry around worthless copper just because people can't "leave a penny, take a penny"

8/16/2010 3:47:54 PM

why don't we, the people of America, just get out of debt and burn half the amount of currency available to make the value increase?

"worthless copper"

since you consider copper worthless, give me all the copper you own. i want to sell it.

8/16/2010 4:24:08 PM

Ditch pennies, nickles, and quarters and drop the decimal altogether. Make dimes a little bigger and $.50 pieces a little smaller. Add a $0.20 if you want.

The best thing to do with pennies nowadays is target practice while throwing them in the trash.

8/16/2010 4:26:06 PM

^^back in college when i worked a summer doing HVAC installation someone stole $40k worth of copper from our construction site. Copper is $$$.

8/16/2010 4:28:39 PM

i, too, have had copper wiring and piping stolen from jobsites

but pennies != raw bulk copper

you don't see a little plastic tray on the counter at the convenience store that says "take a piece of copper pipe, leave a piece of copper pipe" do you?

lets do a survey:

you're walking down the street/sidewalk/parking lot and you see a coin on the ground...do you:

1. Take it no matter what coin it is
2. Only take it if its a quarter or higher

I made the switch from #1 to #2 when I was probably 10 years old

8/16/2010 4:52:48 PM

i still glue quarters to the pavement outside my office window.

8/16/2010 4:58:26 PM

Hooray. My brand new shipment of coins are on their way

[Edited on August 19, 2010 at 11:40 PM. Reason : .]

8/19/2010 11:38:35 PM

Hooray. I just pulled the box out of my mailbox, opened it, took it to the bank and deposited it.

8/20/2010 4:11:17 PM

i don't mind them really, they weigh less than a $1 in other coins...

they need to have machines that take them (drink and other)

"I like the $1 coins"

agreed. they are especially handy when the bill acceptors on machines are busted or reject everything.

8/20/2010 4:36:27 PM

1. Take it no matter what coin it is

8/20/2010 4:38:25 PM

I got my $1000, but I'm not taking it to the bank. I will do my part and distribute the coins like I promised.

8/21/2010 4:44:21 PM

I also choose #1, but then all my change just ends up on top of the dryer, or on the floor, or in the ashtray of my car. This is why I hate coins.

8/21/2010 10:57:02 PM

Well, I distributed my coins at Walmart, Sam's Club, Kroger, Bloom, Exxon, MacDonalds, Thumann', Employees, Customers, Chinese, Farm Fresh, Car Spa, Car Repair lol



Every goddamn one started a conversation about the stupid coins

8/27/2010 12:49:30 PM

I just deposited a $675.

I'm getting a box of each and keeping 1 roll from each.

8/27/2010 1:28:28 PM

At the end of the month let us know if you actually got points on your credit card for doing it.

I'll be on my third set. My first statement doesn't come for three months due to the "new card perk" that I really don't need. So I still don't know if I get rewarded or not.

9/15/2010 10:28:15 PM

i kinda like the dollar and two dollar coins here. the currency lasts a lot longer too.

9/15/2010 11:03:23 PM

I have a few one-dollar coins, but most machines just spit them back out at me - even ones that say they accept $1 coins.

9/20/2010 3:16:44 PM

^^so you just got $111 for buying them coins?

"It's about convenience. as things are becoming smaller and more compact, it just makes sense to use the dollar bill. it fits nicely in a wallet or money clip and stacks/folds well. People don't carry coin purses anymore and coins in your pocket will get bulky and just plain annoying to carry."

Exactly. Plus, coins are just one additional pain in the ass for the government, because in order to create a coin, they must first obtain a natural resource that has actual value. That's the great thing about paper money - you can just assign any arbitrary value to a worthless piece of paper. It's very convenient to be able to create wealth at any time like that.

It's super terrible for the economy to have fake wealth like that.

"imagine a stack of coins reaching almost seven times higher than the International Space Station "

No way it would get that high. It would just topple over. Just the slightest breeze. Or heavy footsteps.

5/1/2024 4:29:45 PM

^imagine harder, bro

5/1/2024 4:31:39 PM

Stacking coins that high is at most incredibly dangerous (if it toppled over it could really hurt people and property) and at least a total waste of time. Just leave the coins in the vaults at a reasonable height.

5/1/2024 4:46:23 PM

plus once you got up in space and there wasn't any gravity, the coins would just float away

5/1/2024 5:15:56 PM

Wonder if someone in this thread spent all their dollar coins on BTC to spend on...nevermind

5/1/2024 5:44:36 PM

^^ another valid point

5/2/2024 6:25:31 AM

You used to be able to order these with a credit card for no extra charge.

then deposit in the bank

basically free points, but that went away a long time ago

5/3/2024 12:28:38 AM

What no way

5/3/2024 1:48:38 PM

yeah it was pretty awesome

now you have to get very creative to get the free points, but it can still be done

5/5/2024 11:41:02 PM

Somebody should have made a thread about it!
