Folks that load their own ammo could use then for bullets. Maybe.

We use the free machine at our credit union.

The last 5 are supposed to be auctioned off to the public.

The only change I carry is a quarter for the Aldi shopping cart.

Do pay toilets still exist?

They ruin the barrels. Too hard and anyway you would need something hot enough to melt these pennies.

The only pennies that are worth more are the ones that were made from copper. I believe they stopped making copper pennies in the last 1800's.

Oh, I forgot that Canada stopped using pennies year ago. They don't miss it a bit.

Camp USA had a coin exchange machine in their lobby.
They deposit the money in your savings account.

I don't know if it's still there.

Default A penny for your thoughts...

Assuming rounding, then:
If there's no more pennies, then I guess thoughts can be bought for zero cost. Same goes for "just my 2 cents"; now your opinion has zero value.
