I use them as place holders. I insert them with a label to take the place of slabbed coins I don't want to free from their plastic cage  |

Are they the copper kind or plastic? If they are copper you could pick out the best condition P & D and send it to me  Hmmm I'm a poet and didn't know it  John1  |

John....lol Yeah, they seem to be copper... (I don't hoard copper)-- I don't hoard pre-82 Lincolns or I would just toss em' in the pile. So they just sit in my miscellaneous box taking up space. They are all "problem free" good BU gem examples...  But for what  Mine still remain in the OGP after removing all the other coins....waiting for a purpose in life...  |

Although I plan to crack the slabs to fill those holes, I do like Fuzzy's idea.

Use them in the elongated coin machines. (That way you get rid of the token and get something more interesting in return.)

I've got a ton of the copper-zinc Mint set medals laying around, so I recently popped a P and D out to circulate.
For some reason, I like to think a young potential collector will find one and wonder what it is (and hopefully not mad they were cheated a cent).

I like both those ideas: elongated coins and spark an interest in a new collector |

I have found a few of those circulating up here, north of the 49th.

I use them as placeholders so I don't have empty holes:  |

I don't believe the metal tokens were used until 1984 and they are struck on copper plated zinc cent blanks. And Coinstar machines take them as cents.
