I just checked my pockets, the only pennies there were made of
zinc with barely enough copper to give them color.  I guess clad
dimes and quarters will do it, they still have fair copper content
even if it only shows at the edges.

"It is not merely that I dislike, distrust and disbelieve anyone who 
seeks political office.  I would extend privacy rights even to 
politicians were it not for two countervailing circumstances.  First, 
they themselves violate privacy rights wholesale.  They regulate 
virtually everything that peaceful people can do behind closed doors, 
from taking drugs to having sex.  It is elitist hypocrisy for them to 
demand the privacy rights that they routinely deny to ordinary people.  
If a politician wishes me to respect his personal life, then he needs 
to respect mine."					Wendy McElroy
