My counterfeit pennies are being rejected by Wal-Mart's coin acceptors! >:(

I am trying to gradually get rid of my big bowl of spare change. But some of the pennies get rejected at Wal-Mart's self-checkout over and over again, no matter how many times I put them through. I have had this happen many times and it doesn't surprise me anymore.

I hate how our money is always changing. They change all the various dollar bills to protect them against counterfeiting, but the only result that I see is that it prevents people from using them in any dollar bill acceptors. Now apparently they're diluting the metal content of pennies to make them cheaper, I'm guessing, since the price of metals has gone up, and now even THOSE won't go into any machines.
