It seems to me that the One Cent is a 'use only once' coin these days.

Small wonder that so many of them are in almost perfect condition.

I mean, if you ask for 50 pennies back instead of quarters they will look at you like you're a nut.


Nah only the first time...

Not that I will admit I know this from experience...

Its really funny when you go to the bank with 7 dollars in quarters and 3 dollars bills and ask for 20 rolls of pennies. I just did that today......and I ended up getting 18 rolls of 2011 D pennies. I opened 5 rolls of pennies,went to another bank, traded one roll for another roll of pennies and then got 7 dollars in bills lol

Will never go to a cashless society. There are simply too many exchanges that take place were nothing but cash will work. I.E. the black market and/or other certain nefarious deals.
And I don't mean just by "street" people.

Yes but little be little even welfare unemployment SS are all direct deposit or debit card. A lot of those recipients have no choice and getting cash means ATM fees for them. I really don't think its fair for them. Notice that you don't find as many coins in parking lots etc. At first I was thinking people were picking them up but I didn't realize so many pmts were mandatory deposit or debit card. The better to track us with I'm sure!
