Looks like the penny's that come out of the red clay here in Virginia. Seems like the older penny's hold up better then the newer ones.

Those are every where all over this Country because they are made like 
My thought was to take all my destroyed Zincolns and package them up and send them to the U.S.A. Treasury with an appropriate note
It would say something like this, " Enclosed please find environmentally destroyed U.S. currency that was manufactured by the greatest country in the World.
Aren't YOU ASHAMED!!! and if not than YOU SHOULD BE!!!!!"
But I believe the Banks are required to take destroyed coins and they then return them to the treasury

My banks around here will not take coins in this condition. They weigh the rolls vs. sizing them to see if the coin count is correct. I just take them to one of those coinstar machines and if it rejects them, I just throw them out. Most of the time it jams the machine and then I get yelled at by the establishment.
I sent my pictures of these losers to my local Congressman,Senator,with a note that Hitler made better zinc coins than we do.I got unsigned reply ,Hitler had a better economy than we do now, and all coinage will disappear in 10 years, be thankful for what you got.What is sad is I believe it.

Prep1957.....I got unsigned reply , "Hitler had a better economy than we do now"......that is truly frightening coming from a politicians office. Like they are resigned to failure for this country. The quote is accurate, but very disturbing on several levels considering where it originated.

What we do with those is collect them at our Metal Detecting Club...
.We have a member that then drives them over to the Mint
The mint then gives the club payment for the blown up zinc's
