Those in Australia are in abundance and not worth placing into the junk trays.... I used to buy them only by weight.... I paid 3.50 per kilo of coins which works out to about 20p each and i used to add them to my ebay packages for free if the customer spent more than 25.00 excluding shipping costs....As you will possibly know, the aussie penny has a kangaroo on it.... I bought up about 15 kilos of them and sent them to my mother in law in arizona before i left for the USA .. As they were nothing much but copper back home, i used them to give out as souvenirs and the service that my wife and i got was fantastic. There was even one time the boss of a diner said that i am not allowed to give to my server a coin if the rest of the staff dont get one...I then said so if i give to all your staff, what is in it for us??? he then said if you have 18 to give to my staff and i, you can have your meals for free...i went out to the car and got them.... needless to say, we got a free lunch...lol... he took me for a dumb aussie but i was prepared for people like him. To think there is 63 coins to a kilo and i paid 5.00 per kilo for them.... Those meals cost almost $2 the lot...ha ha ha  OIO[/QUOTE]
