Working as an usher, I've made the habit to pick up EVERY fricking coin I see. Street, theater, "take-a-penny-leave-a-penny" ALL of them.I'm one of the crazy people who will actually bend over on the street to pick up a random penny. I seem to have little caches of them all over the house, and one or two in a pocket of all my coats. Weird, I know.
Check my change stein awhile ago, and had some GOOD book money in there.

Damn. If I knew that's all it took, I'd start going by Herr Doctor von Kleist, and telling people I had a 10 to 15 CC syringe in my pants.Waddley Hasselhoff wrote:Hay baby. What are YOU doin this weekend??High Lord Tolkien wrote:

That this doctor makes house calls.
That all anyone needed was an injection of Vitamin EL.
That I could make you German via Injection.
Etc, etc.

Penny Harvest
at first I saw this and thought ho hum another school fund raiser blah blah blah, but as I read into it, I began to be quite amazed! Not only does it raise literally tons of money just from spare pennies, the complexity of the involvement of the students and the community and the educational experience they gather thru this process is astounding!
I give this program my Esmer's Excellence In Education Award w/2 thumbs up!

Ingeniously simple and remarkably versatile, the Common Cents Penny Harvest engages nearly 500,000 children in New York City schools and hundreds in Seattle, Washington and the Capital Region of New York making it the largest child philanthropy program in the United States.
During the 05/06 Penny Harvest in New York City, students raised an astonishing $655,508.54 or 65 million pennies–almost 200 tons!
As children help others in their communities, they express and develop their generosity and moral character, and they learn through practice the skills and responsibilities of democratic participation. These young people demonstrate to themselves and others their value as contributors to the community.
The Philanthropy Roundtable makes the Penny Harvest distinctive among service-learning programs and repeatedly proves itself engaging for students of all ages by giving them the power and the freedom to decide how to spend the harvest funds. In brief, young people form Philanthropy Roundtables to study community problems and to determine which organizations can best alleviate those problems, and then they make cash grants to those organizations with the pennies they had collected earlier.
Students conceive and plan their own Neighborhood Service projects–from revitalizing public gardens to teaching English to immigrants, and they often partner with experienced neighborhood groups to learn more about complex community problems and how to work together to solve them.
