<p>[QUOTE="Collector1966, post: 1041061, member: 17919"]I'm not so sure banks and armored car companies would waste their time going through huge amounts of pennies to try to find copper cents. After all, the average person can't tell from sight what is copper and what is copper-plated zinc like people could easily distinguish silver from clad or wheats from memorials. The commercial sorting machines would have to be able to weigh each piece, and I imagine that would require serious upgrading which probably wouldn't be worth it from a bank's point of view.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
