You know you are serious about pennies when........

[shinnosuke]

... when more money leaves your bank account in the form of pennies than all other denominations and purchases combined.

... when the Branch Manager has your phone number memorized.

... when you think you’re witty making puns about having "cents/sense.”

... when you have all major die varieties of pennies minted in the last 100 years memorized.

You are quite a good-natured guy to be able to share humor like that after you have been burgaled. Thanks for showing us all a good example.

[Gamecock]

your girlfriend's phone number isn't on speed dial because all of the speed dial numbers on your phone are set to vault tellers at different banks

[slickeast]

Ou have to back up to the bank, rather than drive through.

I just did that yesterday. That is too funny.


Or you know who is working at the bank that day because of the cars in the parking lot.

[Rodebaugh]

When you break that twenty dollar FRN just to get change back hoping for a few coppers.

When you take a sack full of Zinc to Krogers to feed to the self checkout machine and you think, "it's a shame it dosen't take halves"

When you have three change cups in your car. One for Zinc, one for Copper, and one for every thing else.

When you package 40 cents worth of zincs for your wife to use at the toll booth on her way to work. (that didn't last very long)

[Copper Catcher]

You get this as a Christmas gift...

I got some gas a few minutes ago. I prepaid with 40 FRNs. The pump stopped automatically at about $34.23, but I purposely ran it up to $34.81 so I would get a dime and a nickel and four pennies in change. You know, hopefully some silver in the wild, a good investment in a 5 cent piece and 4 lincolns to search. I'll be dadgummed if the dang clerk didn't give me 2 dimes and tell me to have a good night. I checked. The dimes were both clads. How am I supposed to have a good night with two duds like that?

Now that is wild!

[Doctor Steuss]

... when you've had surgery for carpal tunnel because of hand sorting,

... when the first thing you do when you find a 1970-S in your change is reach for your loupe keychain.

... when you have a loupe on your keychain.

... when most of the foods you eat begin to taste like copper.

[John_doe]

When you can tell an Abe from a Canadian copper, based purely on sound.

[John_doe]

You leave the bank with your money on a cart rather than in your pocket.

[GTOJohn]

when you have to slow down in your sorting - because of warm weather, etc - BUT - you still keep picking up from your banks and stockpile boxes to be sorted!

[sparechange]

when you use a bag of zincs to buy a case of lava soap.

[merchoarder]

When it's Sunday and you have a hankering for some pennies...You load up $30 worth of zinc in your backpack (no car) and walk 1.5 miles to the Coinstar. You then walk another half mile to buy pennies at the bank in Wal-mart that is open on Sunday. Four mile round trip walk for $10 worth of pennies. That was all I could sweet talk out of the teller since I don't have an account there. Oh well, the sun is shining!

[Market Harmony]

When you secretly rename the "give a penny, take a penny" tray to the "Give a zinc, take a copper" tray

[Gamecock]

You leave the bank with your money on a cart rather than in your pocket.

i did this for the first time the other day

$10, and a healthy dose of excersize and sunshine. Great idea! I would say you came out ahead.

[henrysmedford]

And this happened today. Found a box of pennies under the seat of my truck that I did not know that it was there.

[hirbonzig]

When you are hand sorting and you accidently put a copper cent in the zinc bucket , you go through the whole bucket of zincs just to find that one copper cent.

[dytha]

when your wife says to quit worry about the pennies and just pay as your gathering your quarters and dimes and figuring out how to get back pennies and nickels in change....maybe

[slickeast]

When your kid hands you change from a purchase and you don't care that they took all the quarters, you just want the pennies.

Derned noobies! Yer supposed to lick yer chops when you find a 1970-S ... not yer fingers, dadgummit!
