<p>[QUOTE="justafarmer, post: 1709198, member: 3926"]Copper cents are not easily identifiable and therefore worth considerably less than their metal value as scrap. Even if the coins were legal to melt their scrap value is probably less than 1 cent per coin. Scrap yards will not accept your claim that the truckload of cents being delivered is free of ZINCOLNS. Therefore every load would have to be sorted and verified before payment is rendered. This takes time and money. The scrap yard then faces the same scrutiny from the buyer they sell to further up the scrap metal food chain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
