How many pennies are in a Tesla?

That wasn’t reason they took copper out of circulation but interesting none the less

Save the environment; DON'T buy a Tesla.

Copper is the base of all US coinage except the silver dollar.

All the coins that look silver (eg. dime, nickel, quarter, half dollar, ike) are copper and have a nickel coating, a cladding of 75% copper and 25% nickel.

Also, the UK penny, the Canadian penny, the Mexican 20 centavos, the Russian 50 kopeek, and the South Korean 5 won have similar shapes and compositions. These could also be saved by others around the globe, unified in a common purpose, such as an open source electric motor for DIY powered propulsion.

Are you still hungry for the future? If not, please give way.

And the average home has 439 ponds of copper..

I thought they were zinc.
As for copper.all those heavy cables for current.
Thats why oil is tops and my project needs to be financed through dept of agriculture for the river and doe for the process center.
The usa needs 900million gallons a day of crude oil.
That leaves me with 100 million a day to sell over seas.lowering our trade surplus.
I need 1.5 trillion usda farm financing.
In return i pay off loan in 6 years and the production last forever.
Pure 350billion dollars a year profit.
Thats 175billion dollars a year in income tax.
Thats over 1 million new jobs created.
Thats a completely full production of industries that burn crude or its products at get this,1$ a gallon gas before taxes.

Another way to look at this is when you buy a Tesla for $60,000+ (or a home for $180,000+) you are only hodling $260.00 (or $620.00) in pennies.

If we were to build muscle cars without the precious metals like we used to then the price of copper and silicon has nothing to do with transportation.

Why are we building electric cars and computerized trucks? Oh yeah, to make market waves for investors to get fat and because gas got really expensive for no good reason and nobody invented a way to make cheaper gas so they made more expensive cars

I was hoping someone would catch that.

Most of the ore we have now was mined by slaves, immigrants, and debtors. If free people mine they end up unionizing and striking, halting operations and possibly damaging infrastructure. (eg. Telluride, Camp Bird)

This means every penny carries the cost of human life.

To get more ore requires capital investment in machines (eg. excavator, Rail + cart, pulverizers, converters, reducers...) and extremely high risk to laborers. Without the machines there is even greater risk and much lower outputs, which is rarely possible without compulsory servitude via slavery or commandment by faith.

Because of these insurmountable costs there are very few profitable mining operations remaining in the United States. We are in a no-win scenario now with Pacific Trade routes dominated by foreign powers, the end of sanctified and holy master/slave relationships in favor of landlord/tenant and creditor/debtor and jailer/inmate, and a dissolution of faith by those who turn their eyes from God.

One final thought: The pennies, go get them because we cannot easily make more without a lot of people dying either in war to set foreign policy in our favor, or by risking their lives for more money.

Do I want slaves? No. Absolutely not. That's why the Hong Kong riots were so critical. Compulsory servitude is ongoing in dominant world powers.

Can we live in a society without human sacrifice yet or are we just pretending for the virtue signaling?

Actually copper is mined in open pits with complex machinery mostly manned by well paid highly skilled operators

That's right! And once the pennies are removed from circulation the spot price of copper will be free to rise to meet the market without dilution as currency.

This will improve wages and working environment at a much higher cost to consumers.

Now recognize this has not always been the case: The penny we recognize was first minted in 1909...very different times with damning consequences from outrageous imposition.
