Would you pay.51 cents for a penny?

[Still-alive]

Would you like to exchange 51 pennies for 1 penny?

Sure why not. Sounds like a bargain

Nah ill pass

Wtf? Rip off!

[CrazyGirl2]

$0.51 for just a penny, HELL NO! But would I pay Fifty Cents for a souvenir where I provide my own penny and the souvenir is embossed onto my penny under pressure… Yeah sure, why not? That’s probably the cheapest souvenir I’ve ever seen! And I have several. One from Chicago’s Navy Pier, one from the top of Pikes Peak, and I think I have one from the St. Louis Arch? But I have several crushed souvenir pennies. oh and My ex gave me one on our first weekend away on our own, in Daytona Beach. 💋

Wow... back in my day a penny was only 1c
Lol
I would not

You're naturally missing the point that you get to keep the pressed penny rather than the worthless bit of copper plated zinc you start with. The pressed penny will have a design or picture of some tourist trap and be a keepsake, the unpressed penny will be a bit of worthless copper plated zinc that nobody will want to keep.

[Still-alive]

No I understood the point perfectly but its still funny to me llol

[Bee-Hatch]

Kids love collecting these. For a takeaway keepsake they're pretty neat when you're 8. They even make small collection books to keep them together.

Yes they're worthless. But so is the 1c coin

[Plinko]

You're not. You're paying 51 cents for a souvenir.

A penny is worth one cent.

You can not exchange your souvenir as currency.

[Still-alive]

Foke jailed

[Plinko]

It's a q&a site. I take all questions at face value because I find it to be the best way to operate here.

[Sour-rose]

Honestly, I did when was a kid... now a days they ain't worth shi to me

[menina]

I guess I would. It would be certainly different from the coins I have.

[Aerissa_Jade]

It is always fun when you use one of those machines to 'smash' a unique antique penny.

[CrazyGirl2]

Lol, they still make new pennies sweetie. It’s just that most people don’t need to use cash anymore,

[Aerissa_Jade]

@CrazyGirl2 I was referring to antique ones from like a hundred years ago, that could be worth a lot... collectible antique pennies. I smashed up one before, that was worth $5 dollars... for fun.

[CrazyGirl2]

Oooh! Oh well, you still got a souvenir, and a really GREAT story, all for less than $6.00! I mean who else has an “I destroyed an antique” story, that cost less than $10.00? You really can’t beat that… even just for entertainment value alone.

[Aerissa_Jade]

@CrazyGirl2 Right! exactly and since it wasn't one of those 100k pennies, I didn't feel bad.

[CrazyGirl2]

LOL EXACTLY! 🤣

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I’d pay that much for 15 ounce soda. Not that I like sodas much, I’m just referencing Falling Down, ever seen it? Very good movie, underrated

[Blackcosmo]

I already have a penny.

[Still-alive]

Well if you want another one cough up fifty more pennies :p

[Blackcosmo]

fifty cents is way too much for 1 penny lol. I can't afford it!

[d3n0939]

little friend knows the math haha

[Blackcosmo]

@d3n0939 LOL

[Msputiton]

Who wants a penny?

[Cherry234]

If it's a really unique penny then sure.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Sure why not? Sounds like a bargain

[call_me_scar]

Its called capitalism you need debt for it to work

[llorando]

No, that's a rip off.

[Guardian45]

Depends on which penny
