I recently had some mishap doing yard work that left a minor laceration on one finger. As it was healing, it started to experience increasing inflammation. Swollen, sore, pink, difficult to bend the finger. I taped pennies to either side of the finger at the inflammation point just after I started my day at work, and by 5 pm the swelling was gone and the finger could flex normally again. That's worth a lot more than the three cents it took to make that penny. BESIDES -- a penny is not a single-use cent. It is one cent when I spend it, it becomes change for somebody else who spends it as another cent, and so on and so on, becoming of greater accumulated value with each purchase. I still frequently find pennies from the 1960s in my change. Imagine how many dollars of use they have probably accomplished!
