Cool story bro.

I lived in US as a teenager (pre 1985) and saved my pennies and older dimes and quarters as a curiosity. I still have them and just last week was sifting through them.

Found a 1896 quarter which is 90% silver and have put that aside in my 'safe place'. Plenty of wheat pennies and most of the 200-300 pennies would be pre 1982.

I'll drag them around with me for a bit longer, thanks for the info.

I love the UK Gold Sovereigns as well and have seen them increase in value about 9x over since I bought my first one 25 years ago.

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!
 Quoting: FN 5.7AP


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?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75649870


I will use my copper to barter. We won't be in Kansas anymore son.

You dont need to melt them down at all for the same reason you dont need to melt down pre65 dimes, quarters, and half dollars.

The pennies and nickels will eventually evolve into trading units just like the pre65s did.

Re: ATTENTION GLP Preppers and Metal Freaks Alike! START Saving Your Pennies and Nickels! Here's Why.
OP you are right and yet truthfully people will trade things like tools and trucks and parts and such, and they might/will use the local pre-1982 penny valuation although the pennies themselves would be banked on pallets like silver. The exchange would be the place where you register and so a vice grips might have a value of 10,000 pre82 lincolns and a handful of shotgun shells roughly the same value, and so the only time to outlay pennies would be when the trade needs some juice on either side. These numbers are off, but the house, so to speak, is who will have the muscle in the form of steel, to make a safe zone for the people to talk pennies, heh. We discussed all this in the 'goverrments' thread, me and levi philos. But you are on the right path, and also your username, you know ammo will also be valuable so those pennies can easily become ammo.

It amazes me that people can believe & spread false information herw & nobody calls it out.

Nickels from 2013 are exactly the same composition as nickels from 2022.

75% Copper & 25% Nickel.

The composition of every Jefferson nickel with the exception of 1942-1945 is exactly the same.

Why do you think nickels changed in 2014?

They didn't.


Where do you get your information from? GLP? Lol.

It's plausible, but not probable. I have a really good feeling (inside info), that it's the FED culling ALL the good coins and replacing them with shit.

Like also for example my sailboat has a 400lb lead keel.
Well, that's a fair amount of slugs.
Just need to shave or drill holes and melt the shavings, instant product.
Lead actually is pretty useful if not for ballast, than for blast, ha

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82526796


No. They were never taken out of circulation. They are still in circulation.

They just stopped using silver in them after 1964.

Because silver is real money, and US currency is FAKE money.

And everbody knows that now. And US currency is soon going to be literally worthless....like every other fiat currency that has ever existed.
