    Ok, I can see how one's pants falling down might be on the annoying side (especially if one was wearing then at the time).  However, possessing the "magic" card that opens the ATMs... well, thats like finding 7 ladybugs on 7 4-leaf clovers growing out of 7 rabbits feet atop 7 pennies that are all face up and in the shape of a horseshoe.  Do you know how much copper is inside an ATM?  Why, there's a literal "goldmine" of the stuff in there.

    A goldmine of copper in the ATM? Canadian pennies disappeared 7 years ago;  i wondered where they all went.

    Currently, prices for scrap copper are currently very high.   (they can easily trace the cash, but not so well with the copper).


    Some of those pennies are sitting in a box in my shed.  I got them back in change from stores over the years (stores love to pawn foreign money off on unsuspecting customers).  When you looked at your change and saw that leaf, you knew you'd been had.  Worthless.

    The last batches ofCanadian pennies would stick to a magnet so the quality of the copper would not bring a good price at a scrap dealer; contaminated with iron.

    My stupid auto correct had changed batches to hatchets. This post was edited by Kittigate at February 25, 2021 7:53 AM MST
