Preheat an over to 400 F. Line the crust with aluminum foil and weight it down. The object is to keep the crust from slumping and bulking in the center, and it's possible you won't even need to do this. I took this as an opportunity to bake $10 worth of accumulated change, and then run around the house yelling "hot change, hot change!"

Bake the pie crust for around 10 minutes, or until the dough doesn't stick to the foil, and then remove the foil and weights. Bake another 5-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

you can also use dried beans to weigh down the pie crust, i would recommend that instead of heating up a bunch of change :p

 I thought the change was a brilliant and original idea; better than wasting good beans!  It's not very eco-friendly to waste food, emystrange!

I suppose it's possible to just eat the beans, but I wouldn't want to spoil my appetite for the pie...
