Guess what I found when i was checking my pants for change before i threw em in the wash... 4 2005 pennies! Now ok, sounds stupid and all... but I picked them up and they feel entirely different from pennies i normally handle! Its like they are lighter... Are they doing something new or do newer pennies just feel different because they haven't been used much...
