Living overseas, I bought a pair of penny loafers in Indonesia for work and I tried to put a penny in the slot but it was too big. The Indonesians who wore them put a 1,000 rupiah coin in there (worth about a quarter then, now much less than that). So I did put a quarter in the slots.

In my school, the kids who thought they were REALLY cool put dimes in them rather than pennies.  Sheesh.

This style of shoe remains popular, but does anyone insert pennies in them anymore?
