Nice and easy! There is a bicycle lift in Trondheim, Norway, which pushes tired cyclists up a hill! In 2014, minting a penny cost the US Mint 1.7 cents, and a nickel cost 8.1 cents. Engineers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have created a robot cheetah that runs on its own and jumps over obstacles- it's hoped that it will be used for search and rescue missions in hazardous places.
