Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 05/12/2007 11:10 pm When I stated "spending" the Two Cent Piece, I had in mind with somebody I knew so that I could get it back again. I can't afford spending $20 coins just for laughs. Report this Post to the Staff
cfuller43 New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 05/12/2007 11:45 pm I asked my wife this same question not more than a week ago. Are they still recognized as legal tender?...I would assume so. Edited by cfuller43 05/12/2007 11:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
USArmyParatrooper Pillar of the Community United States 1283 Posts	Posted 05/13/2007 12:16 am For Tsmith. I can't figure out how to quote a post so I'll copy and paste what I'm replying to. "Can they actually be picked up that inexpensively that you'd simply give they away? That's new to me." Generally, yes. What gave me the idea is my favorite dealer was at a coin show. He gave my step daughter a really worn/banged up/corroded 2 cent for free. The 2 x 2 was labled "Free if you are under 13". Report this Post to the Staff
cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2272 Posts	Posted 05/13/2007 12:19 am I used to do this many years ago when there was no market for culls. I'd buy something that was two for a quarter and tender a dime, 2c piece, and Half Cent. Sometimes they'd laugh but they'd always be impressed. It's also fun to spend unc clads from the '60's and '70's. You'd be surprised how many people notice it. I usually tell them I've got a printing press or a time machine in my basement. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff
GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 05/13/2007 12:21 am I agree with Smith. If you are going to mess with people's heads do it with Sac's Prez or SBA's. Give the 2 or 3 cent pieces to young (or young at heart) collectors that don't have any. Report this Post to the Staff
grovey Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 05/13/2007 01:02 am I like doing the same thing with dateless buffalos and Indian Head cents, they can be had very cheap and start a very interesting conversation. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim M. Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 05/13/2007 01:28 am I always spend Kennedy halves, dollar coins and occasionally $2 bills. I'm going to have to try spending a really cool obsolete piece or two and see what happens. My dealer always has cheap large cents, 2-cents and 3-cents with readable dates that don't look all that bad. Sounds like this could be fun. ~Jim Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/15/2007 1:57 pm It wasn't that long ago you could buy 2 cent and 3 cent nickels in Good for $2.50 to $3.50 each. V nickels are another good choice. In Good they are still under a dollar each but they have a very different look to them. I have three Copper nickel Indian cents that are a little rough but with VF sharpness that I picked up real cheap which I eventually plan on spending. Report this Post to the Staff

Rigoletto Valued Member United States 287 Posts	Posted 05/15/2007 2:22 pm I would love to get a 2 cent piece out of circulation! Do it! Report this Post to the Staff
