Today is Lost Penny Day. Many people save their pennies throughout the year and donate to charity.
Most people think a penny is worthless but there are so many things we can do with them, aka recycling.
My question is what do you do with your pennies/change?

....can't respect a penny, don't deserve a dollar.
....once the bank bag fills with pennies/change, I cash them. It usually amounts to $120-$140.
....then, it is hidden from my wife.

Does the stashed cash go towards your ice cream fund! :)

Pennies have been discontinued in Canada. They cost more than a penny to produce, so that makes sense. My change gets thrown in a box. When the box is full, I roll it and take it to the bank for 'paper money'. Why do I roll it? Because our bankers will no longer do that for customers. Ahh...more great customer service! :(

If I have a "wheat penny", a "buffalo" nickel, or a "winged" dime, it goes in a frog bank my late mother-in-law gave me. I have a big jug with over $500 of change (I know this because my son gave me the first $500 all at once).
Generally, I spend my change as fast as I spend my paper money. On Wednesday, I usually give a good chunk of change to my bowling team for my missed spares and if I don't get my average.

The USA still has the one dollar bill but in the UK the smallest bill is a five. I don't like it because of all the loose change.

On the name: "Chronoscope" like "chronograph" has Greek roots and means, roughly, "seeing time" – hence, an instrument for displaying time and time link measurements. While "chronograph" is enshrined in modern usage by tradition, it's actually link something of a legacy term as it means "writing time" and was coined to describe the action of inking chronographs (most of which were actually timers, not chronographs as we use the link term today).

While a bit less wild than the custom omega seamaster 007 Chameleon models Tudor made for Tsunoda and Ricciardo to wear at the Miami montre festina solde Grand Prix, I think that with or without the VCARB connection, Tudor has a winner with the new Black Bay Ceramic "Blue" and with that bright blue dial, it's certainly not a watch fausse rolex you're going to confuse for any other Black Bay we've seen before.

And now we link have AJ's Cartier – a Vendome with blued hands and a blue leather strap. Watching AJ engage with the watch, and talk about it, it's clear that this link one is special to her. And that's because it's her "jeans & t-shirt" watch. The one she wears link when she's at her most relaxed and most casual. It's that chameleon-like quality that makes Cartier watches so versatile.

Released as a part of the brand's 40th birthday fanfare this gold and silver duo infuses the all-metal G-SHOCK series with link a touch of added luxury link with a recrystallized finish. It's only fitting that this special anniversary duo takes the form of the original G-SHOCK the DW5000. A far cry from the resin that has been a staple of the brand link since 1983 the cases and bracelets of these two models are crafted out of stainless steel.
