We’re not quite through yet. Just when you thought that maybe that list can’t get any better, or that how many other practical uses can a penny REALLY have, we bring you another five tips and tricks, below. Now, these are super cool, handy, and nifty! You’ll thank us for giving you all the insider tips and tricks!
5. Make Washers
Make your own non-corroding washers with a hole punching tool. At 11 cents per washer, you could be saving 10 cents a pop with this method. Plus, the hole puncher is good for a lot of other things.
4. Win (Almost!) Every Coin Spin
Here’s a fact: A clean penny spun on its edge will land tails up 80% of the time because of the extra mass on the “heads” side. This minute amount of extra “coin weight” shifts the coin’s center off balance causing heads to usually come down first, revealing tails most of the time.
3. Line Up Perfectly Spaced Tiles
Forget buying spacers when laying down a tile. A stack of pennies will do the trick! A penny’s thickness is 0.0598 inches (1.52 mm), providing an ideal space between tiles, and is way more cost-effective. Pop in a few pennies on the side of the tile before putting in the adjacent one – just remember to remove them after setting.
2. Create Fashionable And Functional Door Stops
Take an old mason jar or something similar. Fill it with old pennies, and tie with a bow or decorate with stencils for a decorative doorstop that’ll save you from having to buy one.
