Don't spend your cents, keep them!

Try coin collecting. It doesn't have to cost you a lot. You can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination you like) for exactly face value. A box of pennies is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of quarters or half dollars are $500. You don't have to buy the whole box. The bank can pull out whatever amount you like.

Once you get a box, you can go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). You can pick up a coin album and try to fill all the holes (get one for each year) or just search for interesting ones.

The coins that you don't want can be returned to the bank and put straight back into your account (though it's often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that you don't search the same coins over and over). Everything you find will have been obtained at face value. You'd be surprised what people have found. Check out these links to see:

Also check your change for interesting finds.

Some things to search for: wheat pennies, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, coins with the "S" mintmark - it could be a proof coin etc. There's always the chance that you could find a real treasure!

It's also helpful to buy a red book. It can help you price your coins and will answer many of the questions you may have.

OR IF THAT'S NOT FOR YOU...

Here is a thought, instead of thinking about what are the things we can do without spending a penny....maybe you can things of simple things to do that will earn some pennies. For example doing some simple chores for neighbours etc etc for a reasonable wage.

However to answer your question there are a lot of things you can do from hiking to window shopping but what if it was me i would do some volunteer work....you get to have some experience which money cannot buy, help in some ways and also it can be enjoyable making new acquaintances and having new friends. Honestly give it a try.

Take a walk in a local park with a friend or just walk your dog in a new place. Window shop in a mall, but don't be tempted to go inside the stores. Volunteer at the local homeless shelter, they are always looking for extra help. Offer to help an elderly person with some chores for FREE. Spend some quality time with close friends and/or family members.

Take a nature walk in the nearest forest or park.
Go to the library and check out books or other materials, or access the internet.
Go to a worship service at a church.
Some museums, zoos, etc. are free--just have to see what else is available in your community.
Do volunteer work--visit a nursing home, pick up litter, help out at a homeless shelter, etc.
Have a garage sale.
Pray.
This time of year, go Christmas caroling or look at Christmas decorations.
