i have not used a penny in at least 5 years, i see planes on the daily - but get your point.

pennies are useless junk, straight to the recycling bin for me. really epitomizes our dysfunction that we are unable to stop making them

I have to keep making pennies to replace the ones you're throwing away! Don't destroy currency!

I put mine in baggies and use them as weights

dealing with them in any other way is literally not economical to me if it takes more than like a quarter of a second of time.
A quarter of a second or a bit of a second ain't worth a dime.
