SwimModSponges Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Pennies cost more to produce than they are worth and should have been stopped when the rest of the developed world stopped their pennies. The zinc lobby wont allow that though. True story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like they're going to be the 6th 1913 Liberty Head V Nickel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwimModSponges Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) Do you remember back when you actually discussed things instead of hiding behind posts consisting of nothing more than a single image chosen specifically to annoy people? Do you feel clever when you do that, or is the feeling as empty as the content of your posts? You know, of all the people who've been fucked by the president, i actually feel the most sorry for you. Your multi-paragraph arguments in favor of a position now replaced by cries for help. Sad. Edited May 5, 2018 by SwimModSponges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
