You could play quarters at a party its when you try to bounce a quarter into a shot glass of whiskey or glass of beer and if you made it you could have any person at the table playing drink it people would get people smashed playing it guys picked girlfriends to drink it alot of the time

Put them between your middle finger and thumb, then shoot them at people when you snap your fingers.

Back a while here. We would drill the smallest hole we could
through the top of a dime smooth out the cut and tie a length of some thin thread to the hole. Dangle it slowly down into the 10 cent slot
of a pay phone until you had the dial tone. Then just pull it back up
through the slot. Free phone calls.
Oh yeah, for those of you who do not know this.
A pay phone was a telephone that was located in public places both
indoors and outdoors. Some where even in booths. That's where you and your friends would try to jam yourselfs into it to set a new world record. Of course that time was B.C. (before cells) :)

here goes.
1- (copper)stick by the terminals of your car battery with vaseline or grease to keep the terminals from corroding. acts like a cathode like in a hot water tank. think its kinda like the algae trick.

2- cast into the bottom of a beer glass (lucky loonie) in canada to make your team win.

3- throw pennies at prostitues. (heard about people doing that when I was a teen). I think its just to T them off

4- do this one to your friends. make it sound like a wish comes true or good luck. take a quarter and a (only pencil) not pen. trace 10 evenly spaced and have to be perfect circles on a piece of paper using the quarter as a stencil. next roll the quarter from your forehead to the end of your nose. when your friend says what now you say thats it. eventually he will look into the mirror and see a black line from his forehead to end of nose.

I used this one recently: Needed AA batteries, but only had AAA's, which are smaller of course. Used a copper penny or two to complete the electric connection.

Fun thread :)

Ok, I read through and maybe missed this obvious one?

How about a LUCKY PENNY, LUCKY DOLLAR etc etc

I gave my landlord one of my old 100 year Wheats someone gave me. I put it on a Christmas card for him to have as a 100 year old lucky penny(he's 80-something!) He liked it :)
