is it a big no no too taste pennies?

think about how many people have held that penny, how many times it might have been dropped in the street etc. At least one perso who handled it wont have washed their hands after using the bathroom, so there could be a lot of icky germs on that penny. \n\nHowever, if you really want to taste them, you could sterilize them first by dropping them in a pan of boiling water. After you've boiled them, make sure that they cool down before you tatse them.

Probably with inflation it might be worth 7.5 cents.  Which is better than no cents at all.

L8.00 is equal to about $9.47\nGive or take a penny.  ;)

Is the amount in dollars?
790282
when it's that large of an amount, every dollar seems to be counted so instead of saying"i won 499999 dollars" it seems to be very big, but again, if you count it in pennies, it's 5 billion small pennies. so would a dollar be considered big? in compairaison to a dime or nickel

Does it have Lincoln on it?  Then it's not real.\n\nHowever, if it is real (look at it here: http://www.bcpl.net/~etowner/coin794o.jpg), it's worth a pretty penny.  (heh)  Not as much as if it hadn't been cleaned, however.\n\nHere's one on eBay\nhttp://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://i14.ebayimg.com/04/i/07/fe/e1/12_1_b.JPG&imgrefurl=http://cgi.ebay.com/1793-United-States-Large-Cent-Penny-KEY-GUARANTEED_W0QQitemZ220016802295QQihZ012QQcategoryZ11946QQcmdZViewItem&h=300&w=400&sz=33&hl=en&start=2&tbnid=YWRagJ3oGyG-LM:&tbnh=93&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpenny%2B1793%2Bunited%2Bstates%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DG

yea i heard it 2 it must be true.  1ps aren't worth more than a penny in copper but 2ps are worth nearly 3p melted down into copper!!!!!\n\nHowever,\nyou'd need to get through a lot of coins to make a profit on buying all the machinery to turn copper to liquid form. It wouldn't really we worth it, its not that possible to run and maintain

It will probably cost you more in gas then they are worth.  Most wheat cents are worth about 1.5 to 3 cents each when circulated.  Even brilliant uncirculated cents with dates after about 1944 are not worth a lot more.  So, unless you have cents in the teens and twenties they are probably worth more as a memory.  The valuable ones (major bucks) are: 1909-S vdb, 1909-S, 1914-D, 1922 plain (no mintmark), 1931-S.  Vox Populi

I hate the 99.cents or what ever , why cant it be 1.00$ make it even. and yes I see your point . believe it or not there are people who really think they are getting a real deal.. it is all just frustrating....or what about , 4for 1$ , instead of 25cents each..

No, we should not get rid of the penny.  It may cost 1.3 cents to make a penny, but can you imagine what it would cost to change all of the educational documents to exclude the penny?  Do you think your employer is going to round your paycheck UP?  Very unlikely. The cost of living will significantly increase!

I heard for some time now that the government was thinking about getting rid of pennies. I imagine that it would not be very easy to convert the entire economy. At least overnight.\n\nI think the bigger question is this.... when I visited Germany 5 years ago, everything I bought had the sales tax included! So, if I bought a burger, it would be 1.95, not 1.95 plus tax. This is what we need to do, because I'm sick of buying things for 99 cents and it turns out to be 1.06\n\nam i right or am i right?
