Use them in US Post Office vending machines! Tonight Kim and I discovered that the stamp vending machines accept all coins, not just dimes, nickels, and quarters like most vending machines. While we had to take few minutes to stuff the machine with about 300 pennies and some more "silver coins," we got rid of all our penny-stash.
This is truly the most awesome find of the week...well...so far, there's still two more days for something better to happen. I doubt anything better than profitable penny disposable (we got stamps! that we could use!) will come up.
