Financial Tip Number 142: Take a Penny But Don’t Leave a Penny
Socialism in America has it’s roots in that seemingly harmless ‘take a penny leave a penny‘ tray at the local convenience store. Since this system is a redistribution of wealth why not use it to your advantage?
Go around to every store that has a take a penny/leave a penny tray and exercise your right to the taking part. I’d recommend 10-15 cents per store. There are a million retail locations that have the damn things. Before you know it, you’ll be swimming in pennies. Better bring a wheelbarrow!
One thing to be careful of though is the StealthVue Penny Cam, created to thwart our democratic right to those free pennies.

Chris: I knew there was something about those penny trays that were wrong: The commies are everywhere! ;) And I thought you were kidding with the camera, until I went to the site. I’ll definitely be more aware of where I’m pointing fingers at employees in the future in a threatening manner.

Well, considering my retirement fund is nothing but mere pennies right now anyway, a few extra ones wouldn’t hurt.
I actually think that penny cam is a good idea. Who’da thunk?

@rambler: One of the best parts of life is sometimes reality creates funny stuff on it’s own.
@Jeff: Keep your chin up. I’m sure it will be worth nickles in like ten years.
