The Japanese 1 yen coin is made of aluminum......I have hundreds of them and the time it takes me to roll them and exchange them for larger denomination coins isn't worth the reward.

C'mon guys - get serious here. Are we adults or adolescents ? Everyone knows pennies should be made from chocolate   How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

So, if the materials were "free" and the manufacturing of the coins would cost a lot, why not make the coins out of an instrically valuable material so that we're left with something of value to show for the work put into coining? *cough cough*

A candy shell of course (See M&M's)

Problem solved. Use M&M's for cents! I would have no problem getting (and eating) one to four M&M's after a transaction. |

Now that would be ingenious. |

Wow, that is so sad. Even a single M&M costs more than a cent these days. I buy them in the big bags, since it is cheaper per candy. Maybe in mass, they are cheap enough to be worth less than a cent?

The Helium idea just might work. I just so happen to know where to get an almost unlimited supply of hot air. Although each production site costs the taxpayers $174k/year.
