<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 844909, member: 22476&quot;]Hey,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was at a pizza place yesterday, buying some chicken wings, and someone had left a 1981 copper cent on the counter, so I asked if I could have it, because I now hoard copper cents, and the workers there said &quot;Go for it&quot; so I took it, and I told them I was keeping coppers from now on, and this one guy working there said &quot;Yeah, those copper cents are going for $3 a roll. In other words, you get a $2.50 profit off each roll of coppers, so, I wanted to ask, is that true? Are copper cents really worth that much? Because if so, you would think that almost everybody in the U.S. would be hoarding them, and cashing them in. So, I thought I heard the $3 a roll thing before, but is it true? If so, I&#039;m going to start getting $100 in cents each month, hoard all of the coppers, and send all of the Zincolns back to the bank for more cents to search.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And one more thing. If the government changes the composition of cents to steel, it would probably be worth it to start hoarding the Zincolns too, wouldn&#039;t it? And if they change the nickel, dime, quarter and half to a cheaper metal composition, I&#039;m likely going to start hoarding as many cupronickel nickels, and as many copper clad dimes, quarters and halves as I can afford. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One last question. Why are there no talks of the U.S. Mint wanting to change the composition of the golden dollars to a cheaper metal as well? Can&#039;t they find a cheaper metal than a manganese brass alloy for those too?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
