Well I could spend them, but really don't want to carry them around, so I just toss them in the garbage.

Would a merchant really take them?

Better to dig a beaver tail than a zinky. At least you had a chance at a ring. But I would rather hear a zinc than hear my mother in law.

I doubt most places even look at the pennies they get. Another alternative is banks. They take them and then turn them in to the federal reserve as "mutilateds". That's how all badly damaged money, paper or coins, gets pulled out of circulation.
