bloody 1 cent pieces

[insaneferret]

ok, just came back from the local ebgames, put down $164 on pre-orders for Tribes: Vengeance, DOOM3 and Half Life 2, got a cool little pewter figurine of the pinkydemon from the original doom, very cool, and mostly free, i traded in a crapload of old pc games i dont play anymore as well as the $90 i got from a coinstar machine after cashing in the sock full of spare change i've been collecting for the past couple years, anyhow it turns out i had 530 1 cent pieces in there, which comes up to a mere $5, the other coins came up to $85, problem was that half the damn coins in the sock were coppers

1 cent coins are the most useless crap ever, the posess no real monetary value whatsoever, and their weight is incredible, hell a coin a lot smaller has 10 times the value, 1 cent coins exist so that bloody retailers can attempt to fool you by reducing the price of someething by 1 cent and they're like wow, its $49.99, damnit, they're not fooling anyone there, especially when after tax it rings up to $54.11
