I've got about 170 American dollars to spare.

[GoombaGeek]

I'm a student, and I make negligible income.

This, But I produce a negative income. Except today, today I turned a profit of 2 dollars, american.

Ha ha ha the canadian dollar is stronger now

This may be true, But yu can only spend it on candian things, so it is therefore less valuable. Do you read this just to troll peroidically?

I'm slightly disappointed in the lack of billionaraires here. What about you Goomba? Or are you afraid to say?

If that was true then the only thing anyone would be using would be the the yuan

Also, most of our coins are steel now. Steel's way cooler.

And more expensive. The average american penny is worth over 3 cents in profit if melted. Because we happen to be talking about this, I am now forced to open up THIS!

Also, you answered none of my questions.

[Slayerhero90]

That's how we'll make money! It won't be illegal to melt down all the pennies if we make the rules!

So far, we have a budget of $172 or so if everyone chips in the amounts they said in their posts. That's enough for...drinks and cookies for a small congratulatory party to pay the soldiers with at the end of the long campaign, maybe 100 if we get cheap enough foodstuffs. So, get 150-200 soldiers willing to work for drinks and cookies and hope a lot of them die? Or ask the UN to give us money to liberate the DRC?

...Or we send in Brainfreez.

That should be cheap, but earplugs and a program warning the enemy soldiers about the bad effects of drugs and threatening them with execution if they take them would pretty much neutralize him. If we can get him in fast enough...brainfreez, how much Brainfreez^TM do you have to spare? We can't pay you much, but it's for a good cause that we'd elect you Chief Officer of Chemical Warfare or something if you donate it!

If the average penny is worth 3 cents when melted (which is false: what you'll mostly get is some pot metal of mostly zinc and a bit copper with some tin thrown in) then aren't you essentially minting your own deficit?

And every currency has valuable years. You're best off setting all citizens to work converting twenty-dollar bills to their local pennies and sorting out the valuable ones, because all you get from melting pennies is crap (unless you have a need for grimy brass). I've tried. Tonight's experiments in casting aluminum worked well, though. We didn't get any real casts done but I did prove that all you need to cast little aluminum objects is a bucket full of sand, a bucket full of water, some aluminum and a benzene torch.

As for me, my net worth is $7 weekly. I spend it all on puzzles and extra-strong peppermints.

The answer is yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessss
It actually why their changing the composition.  Some advocate actually elimating it altogether, a idea a ruthlessly support.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I'd rather replace the current penny with one about as tough but cheaper. What's the cheapest metal?

[misko27]

Aluminum.

[Sprin]

We can use stone...

[GreatWyrmGold]

Alright, an aluminum-coated stone penny. Pro? Con?

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Alright, an aluminum-coated stone penny. Pro? Con?

Pro-Extremely cheap to produce.

Con-Worth nothing or next-to if not backed up by bars of gold or another valuable metal.

...Or the US government. By that logic, a $100 bill is nigh worthless.
