    The zoo tried. They put up a sign.

    But the penguins keep eating the coins.

    Turns out they can't read.

    On one hand, i feel sad for the Penguins, on the other hand I'm laughing out loud at your post. Oh the conundrum!

    My dogs agree (present company excluded, of course)!
    Spare your best friend's life!! Adopt an adult dog at your local "kill" animal shelter. You will be changed.

    In the early 1980's I had been out of coin collecting for a while and was not following coin news then.

    I first heard that US pennies were zinc after seeing a sign at the San Francisco zoo warning visitors not to throw pennies into the penguin pond.
