This guy has the perfect invention for the holidays. Instead of leaving .03 balance on a prepaid card, turn it into approx a dozen picks.

Give 'em out as gifts to family and friends. :wink:

I have cut the dove out of a M/C and made a pick. It was a cute gag, but I am just too "picky". (pun intended) :wink:

Coins all the way for me. My faves a ground down 2pence coin.


Best thing you can do with cards is cut em up. Or max em and go on the run.

If you put a penny on a railroad track, when the train goes by it leaves you with a nice shaped pick.

If your card has a high interest rate will the pick increase your interest in playing?

awww shucks, my idea stolen again. I was going to produce pick shape punch machine for the detergent bottles. Imagine racy orange/red Tide picks for super fast shredding.
