Another penny for your thoughts?

Last week I fell down a deep rabbit hole about pennies when I meant to be spring cleaning. (Did anyone use Sunday's snow day to do a major tidy up? No, of course not. Snow days are for movies, popcorn and perhaps day drinking.)

My plan today is to use those pennies to apply thoughtful theories and advice from organizing experts. The best way to begin any serious project is to consult a book on it. (If dieting is the project, reading with a snack is totally legit.)

Should I toss the pennies into the coin jar and let them return to their natural habitat (losing out on a potential 70 cents or more)? Should I hoard them in a little dish? But then I'd have to dust them. And, what, in the end, would I do with them?

I consulted the pocket edition of so I should keep the coins, at least until I can turn them into bills.
