[QUOTE="cvicisso, post: 1352559, member: 29382"]It's about 25 and a half penny boxes (50 rolls/box), but... Again, I think you're missing the big picture: How much does an ounce of gold cost? How much do 64,000 pennies cost? (In case of retards, this answer is $640) No - before you ask - I can't imagine ANYone willing to trade an ounce of gold for 25 boxes of pennies. The point is that if someone does a little scratching below the surface, there seems to be a huge arbitrage potential there. The trick (for some clever person), is to figure out how to make it happen (if they have not done so already). Buying (and sorting) copper pennies at face value, as mentioned, is buying them at half their intrinsic net worth. THAT part is a no-brainer (for [COLOR=#ff0000]edited[/COLOR]). The tricky part is storage and converting that potential profit into something tangible (and more liquid than a box of 2,500 pennies).[/QUOTE]
