creative use for zincy's

[rseasy1]

Found this while hunting in a tot lot made from a zinc penny.
Maybe there is a good use for them after all.

Laser cut?

drill a hole in them and use em as washers.. cheaper than a box from the hardware store

If your toilet is rocking,put some zincolns under it like shims.When they go to rotting,they will swell up and get even better to stablize the john.Or else you got to call a Plumber

If the toilets a rocking dont come a knocking...if theres sound like screaming, theres probably bleeding

I have a few under one side of my fish aquarium to keep the water level (floor has a small lean to it (only noticable if you drop a marble or don't shim the fish tank with zincolns))

I'm debating throwing them all over my yard every time I come home.
Several thousand over the course of my lifetime.
Imagine the poor guy who lives here next

I've cut a few ot those with my jeweler's saw.

I showed the pic of the zinc to my brother who works around lasers in a metal shop and he thinks it was done with a automated punch cuz the edges are kinda rounded.

[It's A Trap!]

I found one of these in a park a week ago

They are punched and you can buy them on eBay for $1.00.

I've actually done that a few times. They make great crush washers for hydraulic systems.

[Beetem2it]

A $1 for a penny, what a rip off.

I found a zincoln with heart-shaped hole while detecting at a local totlot. It was still shiny when I picked it up in woodchips. I am surprised to see someone punched some zincolns in various shapes.

I just spend the ones that are decent and recycle the rest.

What is the scrap price of zinc. Grind um up and sell em.
