That is exactly what I used when I didn't have anything else......didn't like the pointy edges getting caught on the strings though.
 
I've also used one of these....

You do realize a 1932 quarter is probably worth something.

Yeah, that would've been the smart thing to do. During our high school daze, we were smoking in a garage at the time.
 
 
BTW, I ended up getting .25 cents for that quarter.

They would probably make better picks because pennies do not have a reeded edge.

That moose was coined when I was already a 1 year old toddler (wishing for an Alembic for my birthday).

You give me a need for a pick when there isn't one available, I give you the finger.
 
Wait, that didn't come out right. 

 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.
