Why don't they make steel pennies any more?

Because we no longer have ones?

Because it’ll be harder to find the zinc to fuel a zinc sulfur rocket.

The stripper problem is easily solved. All you have to do is have them take money from your credit card or ATM card and they give you scrip worth a dollar each which can easily be stuffed into a g-string.

I’ve heard that a number of establishmets already do this, but they rip off the dancers in the process. A customer who charges $10 to his card gets ten scrips, but when the dancer cashes those ten scrips in at the end of the night, the management only pays them $8 or $9 for them. At least, so I’ve heard.

Hmmm. I must have missed some of Bozeman’s “upscale” entertainment, Chronos.

As for the “whole grocery store keeping the 2 cents” issue, I have a “take a penny, leave a penny” tray by my cash register (as do many (most?) other stores around here), and I almost never have to restock it. Sometimes customers toss dimes or quarters in it, and I replace them with an equivalent number of pennies.
