Weird. Do they not have the equivalent of CoinStar there? It’s a nice occasional boost when the coin jar gets full.

Time to go to your closest museum and get a penny squished and imprinted!

Melting a modern penny is actually kinda neat. The zinc on the inside melts first, which turns the whole thing into a blobby copper flask. Then at some point the copper rips and all the zinc pours out.

You can do it with any small torch.

Yeah, they effectively don’t matter. People can do whatever they want with them. Most will continue to sit in the jar they have lived in the last 10 years.

I really like the idea that this is how God has chosen to speak with people. ;p
