I usually toss pennies onto the sidewalk or parking lot asphalt because I believe the personal cost is outweighed by the joy that people often feel when they find a heads up coin. Today I found a digital nickel.
Today I bought some tobacco and received one cent and a nickel as change.
The penny was a 1946 "wheat cent" in decent condition, I left it in the little plastic dish on the store counter.
The New Bush Cartel pennies are much shinier and uglier, with their Captain America shields on them.

It lacks the luster of copper...
and the bling of cash...
but if it helps bring down the wealthy white collar corporate warmonger thieves
(and the Bush Cartel)
then I am all in,
Indian Poker Faced.
Deuces Wild.
But the entire concept of currency has it's own inherent limitations and flaws.
I should have gathered the tobacco off a mountain or field somewhere
or planted it last summer in a friend's front yard.
or bummed it off any Anonymous addict.
In my less than 4 decades of life
31 of them have occurred since Bush got in the White House.
On his watch (and his sons) thousands became millions then billions
now trillions.
Literally unprintable sums of cash.

Possible Motives
He left some clues about why he is doing this project with the inclusion of the following text in the Genesis block, "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks".Some interesting quotes:
Yes, [we will not find a solution to political problems in cryptography,] but we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years.
Governments are good at cutting off the heads of a centrally controlled networks like Napster, but pure P2P networks like Gnutella and Tor seem to be holding their own.[3]
It's very attractive to the libertarian viewpoint if we can explain it properly. I'm better with code than with words though. [4]
Possible identity
His identity and nationality are unknown. The few bits of information available[1] about him point to Japan, he never wrote a single line of Japanese, the Bitcoin client has no Japanese version and there is no Japanese page on bitcoin.org.He is entirely unknown outside of Bitcoin as far as anyone can tell, and his PGP key was created just months prior to the date of the genesis block. He seems to be very familiar with the cryptography mailing list, but there are no non-Bitcoin posts from him on it. He has used an email address from an anonymous mail hosting service (vistomail) as well as one from a free webmail account (gmx.com) and sends mail when connected via Tor. Some have speculated that his entire identity was created in advance in order to protect himself or the network. Perhaps he chose the name Satoshi because it can mean "wisdom" or "reason".
