Not necessarily even that old. Wasn't 'til the late 80s that touchtone dialing was available where I lived.

I wonder if you're old because you remember the first copy machines with the really bad copies on rolled up paper that seemed to be engineered to resist un-rolling.

One cent, the same as always.
Many people believe that we should go the route of Canada and do away with them. Some even are hoarding pre-82 pennies so that they can sell them for the copper when it is no longer legal tender. You can even buy a sorter to do it...

This coin sorter will separate Copper Pennies from zinc pennies. It also will seperate Silver Halves, Quarters and Dimes from copper clad coins

For proper sorting you must mount the sorter in a level and stable manor. Also your stand should have a physical divider down to the bins to prevent coins being mix together after going through the sorter.

A lot of people don't like change. They'll toss it into the penny cup at the register. Cheapskate that I am I still pick pennies up off the ground. I just got done rolling change.

I was about to post the same thing! Haven't seen it since it was new 25 years ago, so not sure how it holds up today, but remembered it being fun at the time.
