Abe Lincolns melted into Miss Columbias, eagles plucked raw on the backs of quarters, all run to quicksilver in your jeans. More!

Pennies get no respect. People don't hoard quarters, dimes and nickels, for the most part. The penny does not circulate. If I get a brand-new penny in change at a store, I might be just the second person to touch it. I'll pull it out of circulation if I keep it in a jar for two years.
