I make it a point to pay for slow drive thru service with as many pennies as possible. My wife won't let me (she gets embarrassed much easier than me). My goal is no pennies- pay 4 pennies when it's $X.y4 or $X.y9... and more when service suggests otherwise. I have been called an SOB more than once, but pennies are legal tender...
When I remove the pennies from my truck, my milage probably improves by about a .25 mile per gallon. Change is expensive (LOL).
I have a jar full of pennies at my office from change in the lunchroom and never counted it... we try to use our quarters and silver change at our vending machines (I like mountain dew)... and my wife likes her dr pepper.
If anyone wants my pennies, you can have them, just pay for delivery and counting.

If I have a large amount of coins building up in my purse, I use them to pay at the self-checkout at the grocery store.
