Penny for thoughts about pennies What's the next step for pennies on hand now that they are no longer being produced? Searching current information it looks like we can still spend them, deposit them at a bank, or donate them to charity. We can also use them for practical household purposes like a makeshift cold pack or to fix a wobbly table leg. For those interested in collecting, advice is to save a few to preserve as a keepsake of this historic change in currency, and consider identifying pre-1982 copper pennies, which may be worth more than face value. Spend and deposit Spend them: Pennies are still legal tender and can be used for purchases at stores. Take them to the bank: Banks will accept them, and some offer coin-counting machines, though some may require coins to be rolled or have a fee. Use coin-counting kiosks: Machines at grocery stores can exchange your pennies for cash (sometimes with a fee), gift cards, or a donation to a charity. Practical uses and DIY Stabilize furniture: Place pennies under a wobbly table or chair leg to level it out. Create a cold pack: Fill an old sock with pennies and place it in the freezer. Check tire tread: Place a penny in a tire groove with Lincoln's head facing down. If you can see the entire head, the tread is too low. Make coasters: Glue pennies to a sturdy backing, like a cork frame. Weigh down curtains: Slide pennies into the hem of curtains to add a little weight. Collect and donate Donate your pennies: Charities, schools, and community causes often accept spare change. Hold onto a few: Save a handful as a nostalgic keepsake of this change in currency. Check for valuable older pennies:Pennies made before 1982 contain copper and may be worth more than one cent. Older, rare pennies are also worth more than face value.
