Weird. Do they not have the equivalent of CoinStar there? It's a nice occasional boost when the coin jar gets full.
Melting a modern penny is actually kinda neat. The zinc on the inside melts first, which turns the whole thing into a blobby copper flask. Then at some point the copper rips and all the zinc pours out.
You can do it with any small torch.
Yeah, they effectively don't matter. People can do whatever they want with them. Most will continue to sit in the jar they have lived in the last 10 years.
China barely pays their workers. Hell, they don't even let you use services in the city you live in unless you were born there. Lots of people travel to the cities seasonally since they are prevented from doing anything reasonable where they work.
It's not surprising they don't want to spend, China has engineered an economy where huge portions of the domestic population have no spending power or even a stable place to live.
I really like the idea that this is how God has chosen to speak with people. ;p
Out with burning bushes in and in with AI.
Ah, I really like that idea.
