Talking Pennies for sale...

I just finished counting out all of the pennies in my stash (incidentally, I have exactly nine hundred nintey nine of them)and my understanding of what that I need to do with them is to go down to the dollar store, pick up some of those cardboard holder thingy's, then make my way to the bank and cash them in. However, there is also the option of putting them up on E-bay. How much do you think the entire set would go for?

we have places at the grocery where you can cash those in but they take like 9 cents for every dollar

99 cents isn't too bad, but do you also have put them in rolls first? Cause I also have to buy those.

go to bankatlantic if you have one, they don't charge anything to dump all your change into this counter and give you bills

I dropped a penny at Blockbuster the other other day, but I was too lazy to pick it up.

I'm part of the problem

I typically throw pennies on the ground for other people to find.

Even if I save 2000 pennies, which I won't, I'll only have 20 bucks. You couldn't pay me 20 dollars to save up 2000 pennies.

everytime i buy something i always take out some pennies so i don't have to stash them.
example : something costs 4.33, i give out 5.03.

But you're saving pennies for the purpose of getting rid of them. That defeats the point of it all. Do yourself a favor and don't weigh yourself down with pennies.

do you make sure they land heads-up? or are you some kind of self-appointed arbiter of randomly distributed good and bad luck on a mission to produce artificially inflated amounts of entropy with the ultimate goal of hastening the decay and eventual heat death of the universe?

I am in no position to decide upon which side the coins fall, be it heads or tails. That's up to Thor.

Makes cents. Suppose I put them all on their edge, standing upright, would that be okay? I just don't feel like I'm certified to bring good or bad luck specifically to people, but when done indirectly... it doesn't really bother me.
