*Puts on boring voice*
several tests prove that economicly speaking a buttload of nickles would require that the butt not be attached to one rear end their are several schools of though on the issue of 'Butt purses' and 'Butt walets' but in the end its easier to use a real walet or purse

maybe you should just e-mail the mods that you're gonna open a really dumb thread on a certain time of a certain day and you can race for it :p

1 point for the mods if they close it before 10 replies
1 point for the good guys if 10 replies are made before they close it
1000000 points for the good guys if 10 intelligent replies are made before they close it

eh...banks will accept anything...you just have to normally take it to the main branch. Once I took in a huge container of mixed coins...they dumped them all into a sorter/counter and gave me green.

Could you get your bank to accept a buttload of nickels?IIRC a nickel is actaully the smallest currency that legally must be accepted, you can't force someone to take a pile of pennies though.


However getting them to take them out of your butt might be a different story.

Banks accept pennies...and I heard a story of an Arkansan man making a down payment for a new truck with a truckload of pennies.
Anyway, where I work, since we figure in sales tax, we try to only take quarters...
