corkykile Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Here are but a few of the contaminated pennies that I was not able to save. I think trying to recycle them via my little town bank might not be a good idea as chances are I would get them back in change in a few days. I am going to ask the bank if they have any way of dealing with these sort of problems. These are from the 1,261 useless penny collection.

Burks Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Look like cents I found roll after roll of one day. Turns out they were more than likely vacuumed from someones car or something. Various bits of food and "other" stuff you find on car floors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most cases it seems to be a science project gone totally bezerk. In other cases, whatever was on them, we probably do not want to know.

corkykile Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 plant them in the ground and see if a cent tree grows This may be the only solution to some of the coins. I hear that putting a copper penny in with freshly cut flowers will extend the flower's shelf life. Corky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corkykile Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Send them in to the scrap yard.coinflation.com I didn't think that was legal in the US. Hmmm... but no-one would ever know if I did bury them, or scatter them in the forest, or toss them from a moving vehicle onto the shoulder (1,000$ fine in California if I got caught doing this). Or do you think Coinstar would reject them? Oh, Big Canadian M... what is your mailing address? Thank you all, Corky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corkykile Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Why...? *suspicious* Thought you might like some copper and part copper pennies. Actually, I did my boiling the penny treatment yesterday and have managed to cut the completely worthless pennies down to five rolls. Sure was a lot of work for very little return. The remainder I have rolled, but the coins are not at all something one would want in a collection... even for a door stop. Everyone has been very nice about all of this nonsense. Thanks.
