I never spend pennies. I have a bunch of bowls and piggy banks and even teapots, where I dump them when I clean out my coin purse. This was a habit I started in high school, only then I kept them in a half-gallon Bacardi bottle. When the bottle was about half-full, I knew I had enough pennies to cash in to pay for a concert ticket. In high school and college, I went to a lot of concerts with my pennies. Now, I just let them pile up.
