   Ugh, you unlocked a memory of me putting those things into a machine   
   thinking they were quarters and massively overpaying, and only realizing   
   it hours later.   
      
   Eventually the dollar is going to be so worthless that we won't even   
   need cents. Kind of like what happened to the yen. I would just wait for   
   that to happen and eliminate all the coins at once.
