You aren't kidding about the pennies... I find myself throwing a good 1/5th of them into the trash, as they are too far gone to do anything with. Man, 70 rings! I thought I was doing well with like five, hah.

Have you taken a jar of rotten garbage pennies that cant even be rolled to the bank and really traded them in? I hear about people using coin machines in banks to dump them but I don't know of any banks in Amarillo that have those, do you?

:laughing9:no,no,no,no! dont throw them away, take them to the bank and they will give you brand new ones. ;D
