<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stevearino, post: 3791093, member: 74571&quot;][USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER].&nbsp; Back a few months ago I went through my can of FOG coins.&nbsp; I had exactly one roll of very corroded zincolns.&nbsp; I soaked them in water, scrubbed them, in an effort to turn them in at the bank.&nbsp; The bank refused them.&nbsp; The teller said they would have to collect a large amount of such coins in order to send them out and it wasn&#039;t worth their effort.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Then I recalled something about cents not being legal tender.&nbsp; It was perhaps in a story where someone had used a wheelbarrow to haul in thousands of cents to pay a&nbsp; debt he owed but was protesting.&nbsp; I don&#039;t recall the outcome of his &quot;protest.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>So: are cents legal tender?&nbsp; Does ANY bank have the right to refuse them?&nbsp; How about a merchant?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m thinking of scattering them in a playground or park so children and metal detectors can find them, but they would have the same problem as I did trying to spend/redeem them.</p><p><br /></p><p>What&#039;s your experience?</p><p><br /></p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
