Elongated Pennies

I believe that smashed pennies (like this one, indicating that blonds run amock [sic]:)



Should have a monetary value of 51 cents. That includes the two quarters it took to make them and the penny itself.

I only think this because it would make life more interesting.

And because it would make putting pennies on railroad tracks a legitimate occupation.

And because I buy 17 cent products in bulk.
