*stares* Now why didn't I think of that? Could it be because pennies are the most useless little bits of metal in the history of the world, ever? They gather in pockets and wallets and bags and stuff until you're staggering around under the weight of half a tonne of the damn things, and then, as shops don't like to accept you paying for stuff in bags and bags of coppers (well, heaven forbid that you might diddle them a couple of pennies...) you pay them all into the bank. Who give them back to the shops, who give you them all back one at a time, until you've accumulated the same amount, then you pay them back into the bank...

(Of course, you can put them in charity jars...)
