11. Play the penny slots for the rest of you life.
Or ride the penny mechanical pony at Meijer's 24/7 until they put you in the record book.

29. $326.06
is a pretty good amount. Find some kids to roll them for you, promising them $5 each, and then cash them in to real money for a big dinner out with friends or family. :D

32. You can dump them in those machines that
count it for you. They keep an 1/8 of a penny. But it is worth it to me.
