I'm a Canadian, of course! We mint the $2 coin and will most likely start with higher denominations with every different government that passes through Parliment. Not to mention the govs. don't much care for us to have any disposable income.

"Pick a penny and put it in your shoe. Luck will be with you, through and through." Thought all Gamblers knew.

I don't pick up any coins. These days, who knows what some sicko has done to it. Anthrax, ricin, etc.

Or maybe they simply stuck the coin up their ass.

hymanroth+ · Jun 15, 2004

yes,and trow them into another direction,they say its lucky,but never put one in my pocket

Agree I won't pick up pennies, I would if there were enough to shovel them into 5-gallon buckets, and truck them away, but not a few stray cents.

The mint makes hundreds of millions of them annually, pretty soon they won't be made any longer.

I'm very knowledgable about numismatics. They are not pennies, they are cents, pennies is an English term.

They aren't even copper, since 1982, production cost is close to face value, once it costs over 1 cent to make a cent, there won't be any more made, unless they find something cheaper than zinc (plastic ? )to make them from ! They used to be almost as large as half-dollars until the mid 1850's

I have a cut off at a quarter (inflation) , but I will pick up any penny on heads...when I`m out walking ..

Would the same guys pick up that nickel if they were out on a first date?
