"This wheelbarrow of pennies I've been carrying sure is burning a hole in my pocket and I have been wanting that color laser printer for some time now... off to Office Max with my pennies and my camera!"
The copper 5 cent is the lowest used in my country. It is also the reason why I like to use the card.
Hmmm, Office Max will take my pennies??? I smell a follow up vid....
Seriously, that'd make a great video.
If you don't have a sign posted that says we do not take currency lower than $5.00 then you don't have the right to deny the penny. The same goes for no checks, no visa or mastercard, and no bills higher than $20.00.
:: Sigh ::
Wrong. No business is legally obligated to accept checks or cards.
They ARE, however, legally obligated to accept any form of standard currency. Ever read a dollar bill?
"This note is legal tender for all debts, both public and private."
It's on the $1,$5, $10, $20, and $100 bills. I'm staring at it right now. I'm sure it's on the rest, but I don't have them.
They can request that you not pay in bills higher in 20, but they can't outright deny it.
HOWEVER, they can simply not sell you a product if you're trying to buy it. BUT, for services already rendered or products already consumed, they must take it.
Shit. The house I used to rent - the management office said "You have to pay with a check. We don't take cash." (for security reasons)
Don't think I ever, for one month, paid my rent with anything other than 36 $20 bills.
But HUGE happy face for showing how absolutely stupid still having pennies is.
I remember when 1 and 2 cent coins were removed from Australia (yeah, I don't know why we had 2 cent coins either), and there was quite the outcry about the cost of things, and how will we ever survive without being able to buy 3 cents of mixed lollies (yeah, that was about the best people could come up with, as it was the only thing that was cheap enough).
But, we're all happier.
In my time in the states I was constantly dismayed by how quickly my wallet became ridiculously heavy and bloated, and how supermarkets just had trays for coins and people would handle the pennies part of the transaction themselves, because it was too much bother otherwise.
Which just demonstrated how stupid having them at all is.
Realistically think about whether your life would be better or worse without pennies.
Plus you could do with dollar coins too.
And notes you can actually tell apart.
That aren't made of paper.
And we have dollar coins. But morons hold on to them like they're special because they think they are - so you never see any of them. But I would MUCH rather carry a $1 bill that weighs a few grams versus a coin that weighs half a damn pound.
Check out this FAQ response on the US Treasury website:
http://www.ustreas.gov/education/faq/currency/legal-tender.shtml#q1
"There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise."
I still say we should make quarters the lowest denomination.
That's because you're an idiot.

No no...not nice.
was it actually an ad? aside from being to long.. If it was it totaly missed the mark cause like.. even I found the office max part forgetable. I thought they were joking with things you could (and couldnt) buy.
theres a vending machine at my work that only accepts $1 bills. i'd petition my state legislature to pass a law, but, you know, ... lazy...
Gunrock, just a friendly note for you in regards to your post about accepting currency-- barring any specific state laws, people actually DON'T have to take your cash.

Noted. I'm an ass.
Heyyyy - THAT'S why Blankfist keeps trying to lick me!
He had this draw just FULL of them, showed me one day I about pissed my pants laughing..I needed to rectify the situation, so I told him we need to get 2 large pizzas and pay for em with his poo change.
He flat out denied it, and had this attempt at arguing against doing it, all the while I was counting out 280, 5 cent peices.
Granted, doesnt sound like many, but man, it weighed a fucking ton.
Got to the pizza store and he refused to come in with me...hilarious.
The pizza guys reaction was more stunned and accepting than anything else, didnt question it, just...kinda stood there, staring at the pile of poo coin as he handed me the pizzas.
Good times.
Our notes aren't made of paper. And Americans have never had a problem telling them apart. That's what the big numbers are for, FYI

What are they made of them? They seemed pretty easy to tear to me. Also, you may be able to tell them apart by the numbers, but put a stack together and try to quickly pick the 20 instead of the 1.
Try it again when you're blind
Blind people should be able to tell money apart by touch. They can here because every note is a different size, every coin is quite a different size/shape/thickness... The movie Ray showed that he only wanted to be paid in the one denomination so he could tell them apart... and that's the problem, they're all the damn same.

Supposedly a mixture of cotton and linen, a small amount of silk, and perhaps another mystery ingredient or two. The government keeps the exact composition confidential for obvious reasons.
For the ultimate convenience, "money chips" will soon be planted in both hands and forehead.
Any suggestions on the funniest item to purchase?
i bet office max wont take pennies.... anyone?
Heh, guess they do.
>> ^grahamslam:
All of you who want can send me your pennies and I'll gladly purchase something big at office max and record it. I'll see if they make me wait while they run it through a counter.

Coin counting machine?

You guys may simply be arguing semantics here. While our bills aren't made from wood pulp; what we normally think of when we think paper; I believe they still qualify as paper. Paper is defined (by WP) as a thin material made of pressed fibers held together by hydrogen bonding.
Personally, I look forward to the demise of physical cash. I rarely have more than $20-$40 on me as it is. Everything is paid with a debit card.
Once, as a broke kid, I paid for bowling in pennies. However, I was courteous enough to put them in rolls. Most businesses that deal in cash are more than happy to take a roll of coins as they hand out far more of them than they normally take in.
