"For those with a few seconds more time to spare and/or a bit less money, ordinary pennies weigh about a tenth of an ounce and so with a dab of adhesive caulk and five minutes time you can make up quite a few piles of 2, 3, and 5 penny stacks as weights for future use in house cars. Besides, what else are you gonna do with all that copper you got sitting around the house?" I agree. According to the feral government... http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/index.cfm?flash=yes&action=coin_specifications Pennies weigh 2.5 grams. Thats 181.8 per pound. Giving a grand total of a buck eighty two per pound. Nickels at 5 grams will run you $4.55 a pound. Plus you can pick them up in bulk at any bank or post office. Don't say the government doesn't do anything useful. :-) Eric Petersson Prisoner of Zenda ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag
