I'm not...banks nickel and dime you for everything these days. Not to mention, as a former bank teller, I can tell you that it would take quite a bit of time to run those pennies through a machine, bag them, and ship them off to the Federal Reserve Bank.

I'm sorry, but I'm not following you here.

The story you posted doesn't say that the Mint won't take them. But I don't think you can walk into the one here in Philadelphia and exchange your coin...haven't been there yet, though.
