It may be once or twice a day, when a person needs/wants to find an angle.
Whether doing some work and not being in possession of a protractor, or just taking a passing thought that little bit further - penny protractors could certainly come in handy.
If each penny had a hole in the middle,
and a small mark at every 15 degree interval around its circumference - most people would have at least one protractor on them at any time.

I like it. And add metric-to-inch-pound conversions to the dollar for ease of reference. |

This is but one of a whole class of insufficiently-baked inventions
consisting of {currency}{instruments of Math Instruction} including: |
|
|
Nickel Numbers
Dime Dimensions
Quarter Questions
Half-dollar Hammers |

Also note that for the protractor, the 1-oz. Krugerrand has a nice
round number (180) of serrations! |

Bun for revival of Holey money! |

Sorry about that, bit of confusion over these damned grammatical rules. It are all put back right now. |

Hey, no problem, I just get fussed about it (and "it's") from time to time! |

You might try to patent this. Coins and protractors are not novel, but a coin protractor? I doubt that you could get a utility patent for a metal disk to be used as a protractor. I wonder if a coin protractor could have a utility or design patent? |

Perhaps there is a whole class of multifunction coin ideas. For example why throw out watch batteries after their use. They could be considered legal tender. |

//They could be considered legal tender.// but they're ten a penny. |

A brilliant idea! I have been in just such a situation myself. Money should be just as useful to me while in my pocket as it is when going into someone elses. |

Need one of these. I run into several instances throughout the day where I need a protractor but all I have is a pocket full of change. |
