<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BigsWick, post: 74461, member: 3534&quot;]RickieB,</p><p><br /></p><p>Hey man, I do it all the time, mostly at the general store near the entrance to my neighborhood. In my life I&#039;ve known my share of people who&#039;ve told me they &quot;won&#039;t bend over to pick up copper.&quot; Fine by me. I&#039;m not obnoxious about it, but if I see a copper penny in the tray I <b><i>will</i></b> take it. If I&#039;m paying for something and get pennies back I&#039;ll swap them out. If I haven&#039;t put one in the tray in a while I will toss two or three zincs in just to make up for the ones I&#039;d taken before. I really don&#039;t care what other people think, and maybe one day I&#039;ll be known as the LaVere Redfield of copper cents. Ha!</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the employees at the store, a real know-it-all type, saw me do it one time and began to crow, &quot;I know what you are doing, I know what you are doing. You want those copper cents. They aren&#039;t worth as much as you think.&quot; OK smart guy, whatever, but it is still something I&#039;ll do to build up my collection of Lincolns, I&#039;ll sock away a little copper in the process and it gives that guy something to get all worked up over! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
