Topic: Do you like shiny pennies or coins?

Learn to laugh at yourself Green.  It was a funny joke that Ralin made.  He thought your topics were random and made a joke about it.  And you took offence to it instead of laughing it off.  I'm pretty sure had you just laughed it would have stopped.  Try to find some humor in every situation.

Yeah I agree with you Sev.

My bf can like to tease at times, but it's never mean. He is not a mean person.

I agree, Ralin is a very good guy

And Green, listen to what Sev said because he's right.

I like coins, I have a small collection. Some state quarters, and I even have an ancient roman coin. And shiny coins are cool.

He lives in Britain. They don't have US pennies there.

I thought they just had Pence, or something. I know Canadians have pennies. I think the pictures he posted were US pennies, though.

WOW TERRA! THAT MAZE THING ON YOUR SITE WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you called Melissa?

That's a lovely name! :D

My name is okay, but it's quite common= Callum

I love your site, Terra! I Love it to bits!!!!!!!!!! Your Art is utterly outstanding!

Keep up the great work!! :D

Shh! My name is a secret. Just keep calling me Terra :)
Thanks for your compliments. Very encouraging. My site has been so much work! And each of the artworks displayed has been a lot of work too. I am glad if you like them.

I LOVE THEM!!!!

They're better than mine anyways.

:P

Sorry if I shouted out your name..... Sorry " Terra " ;)

I didn't know it was a secret, won't happen again... :)

lol. Not anymore a secret if people visit my portfolio. I just tend to hide my real name when I am online. I like your real name too, doesn't seem so common to me. I don't know many people called Callum around me. Must be specific to where you live.

Yea I don't know any people named Callum either. I love to hear of original names :)

well can we get back on topic please? pennies are lame.

Well i like to collect and EXTREMELY old pennies from like the 1800s and any early 1900s, and i like to collect state quarters

State quarters? Yeah my bf showed me some of them, and we have province quarters up here in Canada.

Fett II, at my daughter's school, one of her teachers decided to ask the children to collect their pennies then bring them in school, then put them together for an organization that gathers money to help research for sick children. Well, just with the lame pennies, just that teacher and her students were able to gather and offer over 2,000$ this year.

Yea when I grade school, we would, every friday, collect "Pennies for Babies" (as they called it) and every week we would collect anywhere from $200 to $300 each week

oh i know, i've done similar stuff to that. i heard on the radio that this girl compared Wal-Mart prices to other stores to show that Wal-Mart really does have lower prices, and she got funding for notebooks and stuff for her school for a whole year, free of charge from Wal-Mart. this was a few years ago.

You just think there lame to try and act cool.

" Pennies are lame.... ( Grunt ) I think I'm cool. ( snort ) "

Jeeeeeeeeeeez! ;)

Pennies are not lame, so get it in your head.

Green, be nice please.  "[...]so get it in your head." isn't a nice thing to say to people who just try to participate to your threads. When you say that, you force your opinion on someone and it's not a way to treat your equals.

No one here is in a position to receive orders or other things like that from you. I am saying this to help you get better with your relationships. I am sure if you really tried, you could do better.

Sorry.

I don't like sometimes people not liking what I like, it's stupid and more sad then, so I'm sorry Fett_II.

Forgive me?

I don't mind if you don't.

You also had reason to minus me... :( :)

Green out.

a plate of oatmeal raisin cookies and we'll call it square.

Ok then. Maybe not apology accepted, but it'll do. ;) :)

I like them for being worthless.

I like them more for adding up in hundreds and thousands and millions non-stop.

I love them even more for being Shiny and SUPERSTITIOUS....... ( wooey voice )

Pennies can not be superstitious, people however can.

Oh well, I don't think they are, but I put it anyway.

I think Oak Tree's are superstitious.

It's like when your walking through a small wood or forest, they seem to have faces that watch you as you go.... :|

Allow me to rephrase myself. Inanimate objects can not be superstitious, people however can.

Come on, man. Play nice. BFFC is international.

I started and stopped collecting coins around age 13. Almost had a full set, I remember, of like 1950 to 1990 but not every one was clean.

I was collecting state quarters, i stopped that though, not sure why.

i just started picking that up actually, ive got somewhere around 30.

I think I like pennies better. :/

I don't know who changed the topic name, but coins ARE BASICALLY pennies. :)

no, all pennies are coins, but only some coins are pennys

Since most people are talking about quarters and such, the mods were just trying to help make the thread more open.  I'm collecting the state quarters btw; and yew I prefer the shinny ones over the nasty ones  :P

I'm collecting state and bicentenial quarters.

I tend to like jewelry and hair pins made with "coins". Like this.

That's very pretty terra! :D

I would like to make coins with necklaces too. :)

....terra that is SERIOUSLY extremely pretty!!!

Pretty awesome terra.

er... thanks, wish i had done it, but yeah it's a style i like

Coins are well cool. I thought that coin necklade,or what ever it is,was yours,terra. :D

LOL at this thread :D

I like shiny pennies but also really old pennies (My grandad gave me two old pennies, one from 1797 and the other from 1806 :D )

Wow Terra that is just so, so funky :D well done :D

As for being wierd. that all depends on your point of view and what you are gauging the wierdness against. Though being different is very challenging when you are school where too much importance is placed on fitting in. Once you are through this challenging time of your life you will be able to work on your confidence, find your place and be happy with it :D (I have :D )

was just a pic i found on the web :P

I applaud your searching skills :P

lmao. yeah, it was a little embarrassing to get everyone's praise for that. wish i had that jewel for real. although i do have a few hairpins and other things with these kinds of decorations on them. i like these things.

I still the the necklace is very pretty

it's funny, during World War II copper was used for bullets, so pennies were made out of steel and silver.
