So I know this is [old] but I didn't see anything under search topics. I just received one of the new pennies and it freaked me out.Why would you make a new penny design? Who the fuck uses pennies anyways?http://coins.about.com/od/uscoins/ig/New-Penny-Designs-for-2009-/

I figured they'd put Obama on the penny what with him being just like Lincoln and all.
7/8/2009 10:47:28 PM
why does the mint keep doing this kind of shit?somebody out there is just trying to justify their job
7/8/2009 10:48:45 PM
Same reason they did the state quarters... only with these, no one will ever actually use the ones they find.
7/8/2009 10:49:19 PM
at least people actually use quarters though
7/8/2009 10:50:04 PM
It doesn't make sense that we even still use pennies as currency
7/8/2009 10:51:42 PM
^^^and what was the reason for doing the quarters?or the new buffalo nickles?or the lewis and clark nickles?or the dollar coins w/ the presidents?it's all a useless waste of money imo[Edited on July 8, 2009 at 10:53 PM. Reason : d]

7/8/2009 10:54:08 PM

7/8/2009 10:54:47 PM
Fuck nickles and dimes tooround my shit to the nearest .25
7/8/2009 10:55:25 PM

7/8/2009 10:56:08 PM
my manfuck walletsjust keep the 5 thou in the clip
7/8/2009 10:57:42 PM
the .99 cent store would disagree. However I am all for the elimination of the hundredths place.

7/8/2009 11:04:11 PM
in that case can i get change for a $5
7/8/2009 11:40:08 PM
i could barely tell that was lincoln on the log when i first saw the new penny.

HOW MUCH FOR THAT DOG IN THE WINDOW?RUFF RUFF
7/9/2009 12:08:52 AM
a few years ago they debated getting rid of the penny because it already costs more for us to make than it is worth. a failed policy from what i can tell.
7/9/2009 9:33:04 AM
wtf, is this a permanent change? What a waste of money
7/9/2009 9:37:23 AM
the lincolns faces are horrible....
7/9/2009 10:01:42 AM
^its just a byproduct of the strong revisionist history movement. They're trying to inject quality into the art by using subjects that aren't appealing, or even recognizable, and that means they are more "realistic"[Edited on July 9, 2009 at 10:16 AM. Reason : d]
7/9/2009 10:16:02 AM
The stock market would explode if you did away with the penny. Thus causing serious inflation.

pennies are for jews
7/9/2009 10:24:41 AM
pennies are for pissing off cashiers
7/9/2009 11:14:30 AM
pennies are for filling up mason jars and cashing in
7/9/2009 11:27:37 AM
pennies are for wishing wells.

$0.1 coin - dime, as is - 0.7in diameter, 1.35mm thick$0.2 coin - between penny and nickle in size, slightly thinner than a quarter, no reeds, maybe put a hole in it - 0.8in diameter, 1.65mm thick$0.5 coin - slightly smaller and thicker than a quarter, (thickness of a nickle), reeds - 0.9in diameter, 1.95 mm thickPut Washington on the dollar coin, Lincoln on the 0.5, Jefferson on the 0.2. Kennedy and Sacagawea get the shaft.
7/9/2009 12:17:28 PM
all i can think about is that little hot tight assed Penny Flame
7/9/2009 12:18:23 PM
how do y'all feel about dollar coins? i wish they were more widely used.i like them. wouldn't be stuffing my wallet with a bunch of $1 bills. also would make vending machines easier.[Edited on July 9, 2009 at 12:19 PM. Reason : ^oh fuck yes]
7/9/2009 12:19:29 PM
^ I actually think a $5 coin might be useful, maybe more so than a $1. One or two of em and you can cover most small/lunch purchases. If my wallet was just ones and large bills, and I had a few $5 coins, that seems ideal.
7/9/2009 12:27:09 PM
yeah, but i'd hate to be losing $5 coins in the couch cushions. i could handle losing $1 coins every now and then.
7/9/2009 12:28:17 PM
I hate $Dollar coins. They make a little more sense yes especially at a bar where you could plop down a couple for beer and tip, but i hate carrying change in my pocket.That's the only thing i dislike when i go to Canada, 3 hours of being there and i have a pocket full of 10+ Loonies and Toonies. And the constant jingle jangle irks me.
7/9/2009 12:31:43 PM
I cannot stand coins son.They make terrible sounds when they hit eachother. Makes the hair on my neck stand up son.
7/9/2009 12:33:10 PM
you kids and your baggy britches
7/9/2009 12:33:31 PM
I can see the value of my penny collection rising astronomically.Just like the wheat pennies.NEVER FORGET THE WHEAT PENNIES.
7/9/2009 1:08:55 PM
7/9/2009 2:07:32 PM
what i'm saying is why spend all the money associated w/ changing the designs?
7/9/2009 2:08:38 PM
the more coins get pulled out of circulation by collectors, the more coins they get to sell
7/9/2009 2:09:29 PM
to prevent counterfeit pennies obviously! its a very very very serious problem.cause everyone is going around using fake pennies buying big screen tvs, cars and houses!
7/9/2009 2:09:48 PM
I haven't seen these pennies. I feel short changed.
7/9/2009 2:10:47 PM
^^^aaaaaaah, it all makes sense now[Edited on July 9, 2009 at 2:20 PM. Reason : thanks for explaining that in a civil manner and not being douchey like half these tards would've]

strippers hate $1 coins. they are not amused.
