Slowly Being Eaten Away

Here’s a 1990 Zinc Cent that’s slowly being eaten away. Not sure when I got this or how long I’ve had it. 33 years after it was minted it now looks like this so should I keep it to watch it get smaller or spend it? Lol

Nice Pics.
Put it in a jar of Acid and watch it disappear.

 

Spend it? All in one place?

Whoa there pardner.

 

Wash your hands

 

kinda like inflation.

 

Keep it and not only watch it return to dust, but take a single snapshot of it each week for a few years. Stitch the pix together to do a time lapse of it deteriorating.

 

Years? More like weeks or a few months.

 

When I get those nasty zinkons in change ,I throw them in the trash.

 

Here he's sitting on a unique find and none of you jokers realize it. Offer it in the antique shop at a discount. Price slashed from $79.95 to $19.95, for today, only, with promo code.

Dunno why, but suddenly all I can think of is The Picture of Dorian Gray...

 

It's Definitely Okay to clean that coin.
needs to be spent before it gets devalued more

 

Biodegradable coinage!

 

Gives new meaning to losing money?

 

Disposable income?

 

Looks like that might be an "upgrade" for my "World's Worst Cent Collection"!

Oh I have worse ones than this. Lol

 

Like this one but I have others.

 

Ya, I think you have a Top Pop candidate there!

 

You can see a few letters but none of the design.

 

Reminds me of what I would take a metal punch to zincolns then reintroduce them to circulation for the benefit of cent collectors for "mint errors."

brings back the memories .... Zincoln Alka-Seltzer and my 1.558g Zincoln | Coin Talk
