| The video I would like to see is that of one of the heavy hitters in here, down at the IRS paying his or her entire federal income tax bill in pennies. Give them the zincolns, of course. Anyone interested? |
Just my two cents! |

Do you honestly want to tempt the Government to mess with you?
Do you honestly think they would not potentially decide to take vengeance?
And do you honestly think you could avoid that vengeance? |

I would happily do it. I just have no chance of coming up with enough cents to do so.
Barrytrot, the IRS cannot refuse or take any such vengeance without undermining the law. Doing so would hasten the elimination of the cent. As soon as the government, itself, would show that the cent is no longer legal tender, how could it expect anyone else to continue to use it? |

I've seen a couple of articles in the recent few weeks on Coinflation about people trying to pay for something with legal US Money and it either being refused or getting the police called on them.
Can't remember entire circumstances but one recently was a gentleman that liked to use our $2.00 bills as he felt they spoke volumes about our current situation. He was the one the police were called to come.
The most recent one, was last week, I think and it was two young girls with their mom wanting to spend their piggy banks of about $5.00 each to pay for a toy they had chosen to spend their hard saved coins on at a Target store. The cashier refused to accept their loose US coins for payment.
So...anything is possible anymore.
Edited for spelling correction. Don't get old--brains start to malfunction!  |

| Good articles, Barry. I do not wish to paint myself as being an anarchist. I just think it would be funny to see a video of someone trying. I would imagine that the serious hoarders would come to the conclusion that doing so would not be very wise. Nobody wants to be on one of those lists, labeled as a rabble-rouser. |

They seem to be implying they will accept up $1000 in pennies.
Thats a lot of rulers! |

Just a thought.......if this offer is still open and any of you are serious about trying to do it.
What about making a purchase of school supplies that would benefit teachers/classrooms, etc. Make the purchase, make a charitable donation for tax purposes, and claim the prize on here.
Enjoy. |

You could auction off some school supplies on the auction forum.
After all it is Realcent history! |

lol, I would soooooo do this, if I had anything to buy at O.M.
Those of you who have met me understand, I don't mind making a specticle of myself or being stared at. I like funny looks, and pushing buttons. |

Pretty much how I feel about it.

| Did a scouting trip to Office Max today. Tough to find much I want to buy there. I like PreservingThePast's suggestion about getting school suppllies and donating them. I did a big shopping trip to do that a couple of weeks ago at Wally World. They were filling up a police cruiser and making up packages for local families. I could always buy a box of crayons for every RealCent member. They were only a penny a box.. but the shipping would kill me. |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Let me see if I understand this? If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 years hard labor; the Iranian border illegally you are detained indefinitely. If you cross the US border illegally, you get a driver’s license, a social security card, welfare, food stamps, free health care!

I may be eons from the crayons and coloring book portion of my life, but I still love the smell of a brand new box of crayons!
Spending pennies to help out teachers and their classrooms would certainly garner a lot of publicity, especially if word happened to "leak out" with enough advance notice for the media to arrive. Sounds like a win/win situation to me.
From a former school volunteer/teacher's aide, tutor, etc. I say thanks for the contribution you already made to further the education of those who will be running our country when we are most at their mercy--in our declining years.

| I am thinking of sending a stack of the boxes of crayons to Nate and then whenever one of us does a deal with a member their box of crayons could ride with the coins or bullion. |
