    mom was at an art show and took these for me. Wish I could have seen it in person. Looks nicely done. AA68FB2F-684B-45C7-A802-15E49BFDA70E.jpeg 78CCDC45-190B-4094-8B6D-402725CCA4B3.jpeg AE2FD61B-2A45-4BC4-8C27-0D77BCF94FFF.jpeg

    Haha. What’s the penalty for destroying money?

    I wonder what the thing weighed with all that extra metal glued on.

    It's only a few hundred pounds. Considering the Mint stamps out fourteen billion pennies every year, I'm sure the guv'mint doesn't pay any mind. Although, if you were charged, tried and found guilty, if your penalty was just paying a fine, do you think you could pay it with those pennies?

    The last time I looked at a penny, it had Lincoln on it, not George Washington.
    If you want to find out how much a defaced nickel is worth, go to ebay and type "hobo nickel" into the search box.

    And I just noticed, they're tarnished nickels. They looked like pennies on my phone screen. So add a couple hundred more pounds.

    Your both right! The hood and trunk lid look to be pennies. Everything else is nickels. Dimes might have looked good too. U. That’s just because I’m a high roller:disagree:

    As a metal, pennies should be worth more than nickles, only because copper is trading for a much higher price than nickle is. It would, however, be the other way around, if all nickles were Chuckies

    Pennies are no longer solid copper. They are copper clad. It costs $0.03 to make a penny. If indeed, the guvmint stamps out 15 billion of them per year, we need to get rid of them and put that money into education or social security.
