[quote:Anonymous Coward 73726709:MV81MDg2Mzc0XzkzMjMwNDQ0XzQ0MzQzNEM0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 75649870:MV81MDg2Mzc0XzkzMjMwNDE1XzRFNDRGMDE3] [quote:FN 5.7AP:MV81MDg2Mzc0XzkzMjMwMzE0XzNDMENENjA0] I have 67 pounds (tare weight because of the container) of pre 82 pennies, and being a GC, I save EVERY scrap of wire and copper tubing (over 200 pounds raw). I've only been doing nickels for about 6 months, but almost EVERY roll I get from the weekly bank visit yields me more than 50% pre-14! [/quote] That's nice. But what are you going to do with 200 pounds of copper when the world goes tits up and the electricity stops flowing and you cannot afford the gas money to get down to the recycling center? [/quote] lol Cannon fodder? [/quote]

OK here's what to save:
1.) ALL pennies 1982 or older (obviously wheat, and Indian Head pennies have a greater numismatic value), but an average 82 or older are 95% copper and 5% zinc. TRASH anything after '82 because it's close to the opposite amalgamation (copper coated zinc).
Those '82 pennies are worth $.0307 EACH! Imagine a penny being worth 3 cents! SAVE 'EM FOLKS!
2.) ALL Nickels CURRENT and older, because of the increase in the price of nickel recently are worth almost TWICE their face value.
$1.00 of these are currently worth $1.73!
I find it funny that MOST stores currently have a "change shortage".
I think the government is culling as many of these coins as possible, artificially creating this "shortage" while they replace the valuable coins with worthless pieces of SHIT.
NOTE: There are only 2 US coins that are not allowed to be melted down. 1 is the penny, the other is the nickel. I smell a rat here.
The ONLY saving grace is you're allowed to melt them down for scientific purposes or demonstrations.
I will personally be SCIENCING the SHIT out of my neighborhood!
Hope this helps if even a bit.
Reference: www.coinflation.com (base metal melt value calculation)
EDIT for a decimal point error. Pennies (pre 82) are STILL worth 3.07 cents EACH!
Edited for the CRYBABIES who THOUGHT I was misleading people. I stand corrected! I was going with the info I had based on Coinflation's data (they only list up to 2014).
