<p>[QUOTE="rocket, post: 854510, member: 24349"]Well, pennies aren't currently legal to melt down, so anything short term is probably futile. Keeping ones for numismatic reasons I think isn't a bad idea if you plan on giving them to the grandkids some day. On the other hand, I do have a coin discriminator that I bought and tuned that will sort between the '82 and before and '83 and after. But not even I know what I will do with those I've sorted. There is a weight/density difference due to copper vs zinc. Anyhow, to take a look at some of what has been done (as far as sorting) by others, you might search in youtube for Sportsdude's Penny Sorter or ryedale sorter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
