Pass them out at Halloween, let the little one reach in and grab a whole fist full; their little faces light up like they just won the powerball. Mom likes it too because her 3 year isn't as hopped up on sugar rush.
Aluminium is much less dense than zinc so your would get more zinc 7.14 g/cm3, aluminium 2.70 g/cm3, about 2.64 times as many per unit of weight. Making the penny out of aluminium would be the quickest way I can think of to kill it off, the old pennies would be horded and the new would be rejected because aluminium just doesn't feel real in a coin.
Did you know that John Hinckley, Jr. was involuntarily committed to a mental hospital after attempting to assassinate President Reagan and one of his fellow patient was also found not guilty by reason of insanity, but for unpaid parking tickets! We've got a new verdict in Michigan, "Guilty, but mentally ill", basically once you've convinced the doctors at the asylum your no longer a threat to yourself or others, they let you start your prison sentence; really cuts down the insanity defenses.
We just came out with a new Dollar coin, but the phrase "In God We Trust" isn't on it so it will die in obscurity, enough people will refuse it so it will not see general usage. If they can get the Dollar coin to circulate, it will push the penny out of it's till slot, and a two dollar bill will slide into the empty Dollar slot in the till, but people just aren't going along; I've seen three or four variation of this attempt tried and fail. Americans are very wary of the government changing their money.
I used to sell auto stereos at the flea market, which was expensive enough to be noticeable by the taxman so I got a tax license. it really isn't a big deal to round up or down a bit and have every thing come out to an even number after the tax is added.
We usually add sales tax to prepared food, but not unprepared food, so it gets weird, if you buy a bag of potatoes chips in a proper grocery store they aren't taxed; if you buy them at a petrol station they are. Most of the chip vendors sell on consignment and stock the store shelves for the retailer, but that also means they set the prices which are the same in the Grocery as the gas station so the round up scheme is at their mercy.
Medicine also used measures like drams, scruples, minims, you know Latin measures, there were whole college course on the Apothecary system. There is also reasons why converting weights and measures back and forth isn't particularly hard and it's because they are convenient sizes not much difference between a 20oz drink and a half liter or a pound of meat or 500gms. I bet even in France where the metric system was invented when a recipe calls for 5ml she thinks "oh that's a teaspoon".
I've noticed that the metric countries aren't as metric as they pretend; our sixpack joe is only slightly less metric than the average Canucks and the British punters.
No worries, everybody knows we have enough pennies stashed in penny books and cookie tins to last for two centuries. You can buy Wheat Straw pennies by the pound online! This is just 1%er trying to corner the market, they'll get crushed just like "Great Yellow Father" Kodak crushed the Hunt Brothers in silver.
Oh by the way, Universal Healthcare will be administered by the Veterans Administration which will be renamed the "Department of Homeland Health Services" shortly after Hildebeast gets elected.
You won't get "well organized" in anything done by a government (and the constitution is - by definition - a matter of government) without lots and lots of regulation.
Sorry lots and lots of regulation just makes it worse.
That's Exactly what he means, It'll never be a "We can win" proposition, but more of a "if we can make it expensive for them, they will not act frivolously". Many have delusions of being able to mount a gorilla campaign, and there are vast areas of wilderness where a person can just disappear if he wants to.
Now I don't subscribe to that line of thinking, but God help any Blue Hats, many will shoot them on sight in the hinderlands; If they'll take on US Troops with provocation, imagine their reaction to UN Peacekeepers.
Washington's time was pretty much a "come as you are" war so you were better off with your troops carrying weapons they used every day. Today a lot of people are familiar with firing on a regular basis the civilian variants of the M16A2 rifle and the M4 Carbine.
One result of the Dick act is no state has an effective Military force under its command, our Division command was in Illinois, but our Brigade Headquarters was in Michigan along with 2 Infantry Battalions, an Artillery Battalion, but their headquarters was in Ohio, we had an Armor Company in Michigan but their other companies and Headquarters was in other states as well. In order to field a really effective Military unit you need a division and that would take an alliance of 3 or 4 governors to accomplish. The effect is the National Guard is unable to pose a threat to the US Government, likewise the Posse Comitatus Act is to prevent the USG from becoming a threat to the States.
You have it backwards, because the well regulated militia is important, we have the right to bear arms to become part of the well regulated militia when required. In Switzerland the Government provides the arms to be born, and they have the lowest gun crime rates on the planet; it's the culture not the guns. There is a reason why Japan only invaded a couple deserted American Islands in WW II and even that was done as a distraction.
Take out the Statistics for New Orleans, Detroit, Chicago and Los Angeles and you get a much different picture, actually New Orleans is the only place where suicide isn't the lead cause of gun related deaths.
The Amish have been like that for a long time. Their economy is a mixture of favors, barter, and cash. It's not beyond them to come into a real estate office and plunk down a half million dollars in cash to buy a big farm. It gives the USG fits too.
If the metal in 100 pennies is more than the value one a dollars then people should just use the coins, no need to melt them, they are already in a measured easy to use form. In reality the value of the metal used to make 100 pennies or 20 nickels are an unofficial base beyond which a dollar shouldn't inflate past.
The problem is how to avoid people melting coins and selling the metal for a profit. Because the people of the Philippines already did that after the peso was devalued so much that the metal was worth more. Hmmmmmmm. How to avoid following the Philippines, without following Canada?
Solution: Outlaw notes. Make all currency out of metal coins, thus causing a global commodity shortage and increasing the price of metals.
You know stores could have one price for goods paid for with pennies and nickels, and another higher price when paid for with less valuable FERNs (FEderal Reseve Notes)! Wouldn't that make the gold standard advocates happy. When I was in Italy back in the late '70s, the Lira was so inflated that the Banks would print paper coins for anything less than 100 Lira, which is what the Fed does now dollars, except they don't keep deposits on hand to cover their debt. It's not that far fetched either, Casino Chips are pretty much the same as cash in Los Vegas. When I was at the flea market, I made sure everything was priced so that it came out to an even dollar amount when tax was added, should be easy to round to the dime and avoid the penny and nickel all together.
The government would be happy if cash was phased out, it would make it easier to track drug dealer, tax cheats and terrorists if everybody had to use a credit or debit card.
They take a cell sample, a biopsy of the cancerous cells or a pap smear and test for the viral DNA, not finding the HPV DNA doesn't mean you don't have HPV, it just means it wasn't in the sample, finding the DNA means you do
Ah no, a few vaccines contain Thiomersal when supplied in multidose vials, or as a trace contaminate during manufacture, single dose vials don't contain thiomersal other than as a trace. Thiomersal dose breakdown in the body to ethyl-mercury, a shot with thiomersal in it gives a person about 2.5% of their daily tolerable mercury dose.
There are around 150 strains of HPV, #16 and 18 causes the most human cancers, If a person hasn't been immunized by age 13, the chances are they are all ready infected, and will have an increased risk of getting a HPV cancer later in life.
There was a strong association in genital HPV infection between husbands and wives as expected from a sexually transmissible disease. However, the high prevalence of the infection among the virginal women indicated that transmission of HPV by nonsexual modes was common. Genital HPV infection is ubiquitous and in women is not exclusively a venereal disease. Is genital human papillomavirus infection always sexually transmitted?
HPV is a sexually transmissible disease, a common cold is a sexually transmissible disease by the same criteria; I wish I had a nickel for every cold I've gotten or given to my spouse over the years.
Got news for you dude, sexual intercourse isn't the only way you can get HPV, if it were than virgins wouldn't have it. Sexual intercourse is the easiest way but not the only way; a lot of things that 3rd graders do can spread it, two people scuff their elbows on the same door frame running out to bus and it's transmitted; it's not like Johnny always washes his hands after peeing you know.
So what you're REALLY saying is that you support the Government going door to door, strapping people down against their will, and injecting stuff into their bodies.
Oh hell no, You'll have to come to us,the Government, fill out the forms in triplicate, a 200 page stack with lots of lines to sign an initial, and supporting documents (don't miss one or you'll have to start over). You'll get them when you sign up for unemployment, sign up for a job, get a driver's license, go to school or college, get health insurance, get Married or Divorced! You'll fill out those papers so many times you'll eventually just get the shots because it's easier! Doing the Gestapo thing is too easy, this way your pain and suffering lasts; if you cave too quickly, we'll be out of a job!

ubiquitous (not comparable)
Being everywhere at once: omnipresent.
To Hindus, Jews, Muslims and Christians, God is ubiquitous.
Seeming to appear everywhere at the same time. Widespread; very prevalent.
Nurse Ratched: "If Mr. McMurphy doesn't want to take his medication orally, I'm sure we can arrange that he can have it some other way. But I don't think that he would like it." Okay so McMurphy wasn't competent, but I have heard of Hunger-strikers having a Levine tube shoved down their nose for tube feeding (it pretty much feels like getting punched in the face too); but I'm not sure what country it happened in. I will say that anybody who has had the old rubber hose down the nose three or four times and still isn't eating is really dedicated. The nose is innervated by the Trigeminal nerve which when agitated transmits some exquisit pain.

There is a certain stigma to picking them up, I do because they are a slip-fall hazard, more than because of their value.
