    we dont use them here anymore

    everything gets rounded up or rounded down to the nearest 5 cent when using cash...it stays to the penny when using debit/electronic payment

    If you do this outside an old folks home, it keeps them exercised and busy months!

    the article said they sell for about 15 cents circulated so that would give a clue to how easy they are to find.

    i like to collect them, cleaning them and putting them in books gives me something to do when I'm bored. Plus i figure we'll get rid of them soon and round everything up to 5 cents and I'll be able to make some money down the line.

    I give my pennies to my kids for their piggy banks. They love it and feel rich.

    Never clean a coin, it reduces their value.

    Yes, there were Indian head pennies, I have one or two somewhere.

    I also look for wheat pennies and I pick up every penny I see.

    Heads up is good luck.​

    a lot of us just collect them for the sake of collecting

    cleaning a used coin that is only worth face value doesnt hurt its value ;)
