<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Endeavor, post: 2288257, member: 60292&quot;]The number of copper cents per roll have seemed to come down in the last several years. I guess in large part because of what you stated: zinc production is very high. Then you also have the ongoing hoarding and destruction. Although it is difficult to determine how much of a factor those play.</p><p><br /></p><p>The zinc cents are garbage (as far as quality and durability). Especially the more recent shield reverse cents. As you also stated, they corrode quick and easy. They are not dense enough or something. And the copper jacket is too thin I think. It seems like the outer layer of the coin gets corroded too easily to last long in circulation. That actually could have been a good thing (from a collectors standpoint) if the mintage weren&#039;t so damn high, lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
