Hey All

Last night was a very important moment in my life. For last night was the night that I made my professional gaming debut. A call to arms was made in the Evergreen State, and the honor of all of Team Liquid members was on the line, for one of their own was about to go into battle. The game was Battlefield 2, A best of three Clash of the Titans of The Evergreen State College quiet dorms. The rules were simple, win a test of pure might, no backstabbing bases, simply my wits versus my opponent. And I won, taking home the handsome sum of One (1) USD.

ITS ALL ABOUT THE WASHINGTONS!

Nah nah, fuck all the previous advice. Take your 1USD to the bank. Demand change in pennies. Once you have your 100 pennies, then you can melt them down and make a (semi) copper statue as a trophy for your victory!

Interesting note: banks have been instructed not to give out change in pennies for (almost) this exact reason. The copper in a penny is worth more than 1 cent, so people were trying to change $100s and $50s in pennies to melt down and resell.

It's possible this is bs though, since my source isn't the most reputable.

Pennies are mostly zinc now, it seems unlikely that they contain more than a cent of copper

You have no God or soul if you have never seen/had Swedish Fish. Heretic.

Water is more expensive than that these days.

Congrats. If the economy gets bad enough maybe you can buy a plane ticket.
