Is there a practical use for a penny as an object?

You can get 100 little metal discs for $1.00. It costs a lot more to get the same thing but not currency.

Aside from shitty gimmicks like tiling a countertop, or straight melting them down, what purpose can be served by a penny as a metal disc?

Fill a sock with like 3 bucks worth of em and bam youve made a god damned flail

take a penny worth one cent.



drill a hole in it.



you now have a 12 cent washer.

I recently needed some washers in a hurry. Cheaper than B&amp;Q.

Clearly creating scale mail is the best answer

Or whip them at oncoming traffic

Use platina to turn them into silver and gold color. Try to fool people into buying them.

I use them as crush washers.

You're all defacing currency and WILL be arrested.

Nice idea, but isn't there hardly any soft metal like copper in them anymore? Canadian pennies were up to 95% steel by the time we got rid of them for good.

I taught my 10 year old cousin how a bench grinder works with pennies.

They're mostly zinc, which is softer than copper



You can hoard pre 1982 pennies and wait for them to discontinue the penny altogether. They're each worth .03 in copper, maybe more by now

do you sand them smooth first? otherwise defeats the purpose of a crush washer

They smush flat

>wait for them to discontinue the penny altogether

Whether or not they discontinue the penny, YOU will never be legally allowed to reap the rewards.

If they discontinue currency, then destroying it for profit is legal

you could make some form of Eye E Dee, dip it in glue and then roll it in the pennies for when you want to not only be anti social, but anti personnel.

I've used quarters as copper blanks in jewelry making.



Nickels are worth more than 5¢ as raw copper.

nickels aren't raw copper though
