Is it OK to just drop my pennies on the sidewalk to get rid of them?

I very much agree. I think it's tied to the fact that we don't let a coin machine make us feel impoverished when we know we aren't.

Yeah - what other inanimate objects make you feel bad about yourself, OP? Does a blender make you feel sad? Does a lawnmower make you feel like you need to pee? Does an iPad make you feel anxious? And have you sought help for this disorder?

Yes, I knew that. Thanks.

She can't do that. She has huge insecurities that cause her to think that onlookers will 1) be paying attention to her, and 2) will think she's "a poor".

Is this some sort of weird rich people problem? Ugh.

Just throw them in the trash?

I throw them. They’re metal so it’s not littering. Plus, someone will find them and have good luck all day. So... win win.

I looked up "ass pennies."

I can't undo that.

You're an idiot. Do you also throw empty soda cans on the ground since they are metal?

Don't be dumb. Pennies are the basic unit of cash, please don't throw it away like it's nothing. I cashed in all my pennies and change over a 7 year period and ended up with $600! Don't throw out your money. Get a really big jar and place all your change into it at the end of each day.

Lots of places accept donations like this..don't litter..they will end up going down the storm drains into the ocean!

Yeah but I figure copper -- its a natural metal found in the earth, etc.

They are not all pure copper. Ones made after a certain date (I forget when) contain some other alloy which is toxic to dogs and other animals if ingested. Please don't drop them on purpose.

Maybe you are poor and want to feel rich by throwing pennies away?

[Anonymous]

I usually just throw them in a can and forget about them. My dad had about $800 in pennies stored in crisco cans when he died.

Please don't toss them on the sidewalk. They're terrible for kids on scooters. They make the wheels skip and jam.

Raise your hand if you are actually buying this shit.

Animals don't eat pennies. Yes it's toxic but it's never been a problem for animals. It's not like animals go around chewing on pipes and metal all day.
