should the penny be romoved form circulation yes  and why give me a godd reason?

No... Merchants already make adjustments for the worthlessness of the penny by give adjusted change, - or by having a give-and-take "thingy" near the register.\n\nBesides, taking it out of circulation will just cause people to hoard them, - thinking that they will be valuable.

I think that drawing on any currency (paper, coin, etc.) isn't legal, because your defacing federal property.\n\nBut I don't think anyone really cares.  It's done so often, anyway.  The governments not going to arrest you for writing on a $5 bill.  I'm sure it's discouraged, as it should be, but most people have done it.

I just took a dollar bill to the bank that I'd had for years. I always thought if you had more than half they'd exchange it. She said they want to see at least a couple of the serial numbers on the torn side. Which mine didn't have. She still exchanged it though. \n.

The origin seems to be unknown - and be aware of the fact, that in earlier days it was a 1 dollar coin.\n(see link)

Because the $1 Bill is King!  There is no other possible reason.  It should be easier to use $2 Bills since they would take up less room.  Plus, the time saved in counting $1 bills in your pocket and to make change would be worth millions!  Not to mention the reduced cost to the government by producing fewer $1 bills.\n\nThis also answers the question:  "Why is the $1 COIN not popular?".  Because the $1 Bill is King - and therefore the vending machine companies will not pay to change over their machines - which would be essential to making a coin viable.  The bottom line is that no one wants a coin - or a $2 bill!\n\nBoth have worked remarkably well in Canada which had an identical coinage and bill system until recently.  They moved to a $1 coin, then after this was a hit they added a $2 coin.  The equivalent bills were phased out and everyone has been happy.  The difference was that the vending companies were quick to recognize the benefits of adapting their machines - those bill readers are nothing but trouble!

Not right now. Those are still in circulation. You need to wait a few more years, decades even-- and at that those bills will only be worth a higher value if they are in mint condition.

What worked for me:\nYou'll need paper rolls to pack the coins into.  They are very inexpensive at office supply stores.  Banks may give them away free of charge. Penny rolls hold 50 pennies each.\n\nGet a movie to watch while you sort, count, and roll. You can buy all sorts of toys (uh, I mean tools) that will help you. But that all costs money, decreasing the final amount of money that goes into your pocket.\n\nI called my bank and told them how much I had in change and asked them if they would accept the rolled coins.  They told me that if I put a personal identifier on each roll, they would accept the entire amount.  (I think this was an arbitrary requirement imposed by a teller who didn't want to deal with $400 in change, so make sure you ask your bank for specifics.)\n\nOther option that I couldn't force myself to do:\nCoinstar: No counting, stacking, rolling, or identifying. They will also charge a fee of 8.9% which I find unacceptably high, but you get to make that choice for yourself.  They might be running a no-free promotion somewhere. The Coinstar website has a kiosk locator.

A penny with a hole in it is worthless because you can't spend it, so it is hopeless - there's no help for it since you obviously can't fix the hole in the penny. That's what it means. I don't know the origin though - sorry! Will look it up first and I'll get back to you if I find it.

I'm saving the mint proof sets that contain the state quarters including the silver proof sets. I collect coins as a hobby and the state quarters are a part of history.  After all, when was the last time the design on our quarters changed? While circulating state quarters may never have any numismatic value because so many people are saving them, it is still fun.

To answer this question, we must make some assumptions about meanings.  If we are talking about U.S. coinage (pennies) to weight (pound), which was my assumption, then the answer can come from a quick check on the Internet (or with real pennies and a good scale). A Web site I found shows that depending on how many pennies are pre-1982, you can have between 146 and 181 pennies in a pound.  The only other choice I can think of for an answser to this would be if we are talking about pennies in an English Pound, which would not consider weight (pound), but would, instead, consider only value (Pound).  That would make it 100, right?

Collecting coins?\nCleaning coins is a no-no.  Humans are crows and shiny is better.  All that glitters is gold. But the shine has to be there in the first place and not be enhanced.  Coins with their original finish are valuable because of the quality of their original striking, the lack of wear on them, and their eye appeal.  Attractively toned copper and silver coins are also desired by coin connoisseurs.\n\nPolishing the coins abrades and changes their surfaces, reducing their eye appeal and collectabilty.  Cleaning coins wears them down and lowers their grades.  It might be okay to shine a common date silver dollar as a keepsake.  It is highly likely that most old and ancient coins will have been cleaned.  We need to care for our coins, and protect them from cleaning, wear, and scratches.\n\nMany types of coin holders can cause problems as well.  Plastics sliding across coin surfaces may cause tiny scratches.  The plastics that cover coins may break down and turn the coins green, or coat them in goo.  Watch your collection for signs of trouble.  Store your coins in a box or album so that weight is not applied to them, and there are no extremes of temperature.  Fire safes and safety deposit boxes may cause condensation problems, which are even more dangerous to stamps and banknotes.  Put some silica gel, a dessicant that removes moisture from the air, in with your collectibles.\n\nBeware of whizzed, or overly polished coins.  If something looks too good to be true, it probably is.  Buy your coins from a trusted source, with a liberal return policy, or guarantee.  If you have, or are acquiring, coins valued at five hundred dollars or more, consider using a third-party grading service. I.C.C.S. is well respected for Canadian coins.  P.C.G.S. http://www.pcgs.com is universally accepted for American coins.  For a fee, coin experts who have no vested interest in the selling price will grade and encapsulate your coins.  This makes the coins more merchantable and protects buyers and sellers.  The holders are generally regarded as safe.  Some people feel that so-called slabbed coins lack a certain hold it in your hand appeal that raw coins have.\n\nA fiery red-toned copper cent, a flashing white silver dollar, and a rainbow-hued silver quarter, all dazzle collectors eyes.  Toning can also be enhanced, or used to hide defects.  With practice and patience, collectors can learn to see the beauty beneath the blackening on silver coins.\n\nConsult an experienced dealer, or collector friend, before reaching for the coin cleaner, and harming your holdings.  Likewise, if your coins have storage problems, help may be available.  Some chemicals can remove plastic pvcs, spotting, or oiling, without changing the coins metallic finish, or altering the surfaces.  Seek expert advice and use caution with potentially carcinogenic chemicals.

I believe you would get £10-worth of silver, but only if you took it to the Band of England in Threadneedle st, London, in person. (If everyone did this there'd be a crisis because there wouldn't be enough silver to go round!)

NO\nit has never been an issue in the past, and the cost to do so would be astounding, let alone how does this judge propose getting all of the current currency out of circulation,WORLDWIDE??\nisnt our national debt high enough already???

Seems a bit of a daft situation and one theat needs to be looked at.\n\nBusinesses can refuse legal tender just as they can refuse to sell you anything at all. There is no obligation on a business to sell goods or provide a service (other than certain statutory ones).

No, but I should do. It's one of those things you should always have, like a safety pin (apparently in case your knickers fall down) and a coin for the payphone.

I don't think anybody would stop you, but depending on how many pennies are in there, you may get frowned at. Especially if you take them and put them in your pocket rather than using them to pay for your current purchase.
