Read this website with an open mind:
http://www.loosechangeguide.com/LooseChangeGuide.html, and you'll see just how stupid Loose Change is.
I used to think like you. I saw Loose Change and completely flipped. Then I read through the pages on the site above and saw just how wrong it all was. Please, please, please do not just dismiss this out of hand. Read it through and seriously think about the lack of facts in Loose Change.
