<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EdThelorax, post: 3272714, member: 99854&quot;]It takes 151 copper us cents to yield a pound of copper.&nbsp; If copper were to increase about 10% from here to $3.02 they would be &quot;worth&quot; double face value. As was stated above, melting them is highly illegal and so is exporting them. Besides the space they take up, there is the opportunity cost of not putting the money to work elsewhere.&nbsp; </p><p>Melting 90% silver US coins Used to be illegal also I believe. Those that hoarded buckets of silver quarters at $.25 ea. made out very well if they had patience.</p><p>On the bright side, they are still a cent and can be spent or turned in at a bank at any time. </p><p>Last I knew, i could get all i wanted&nbsp;&nbsp; at 110%. If i had some, I would cash them in and buy 999 silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
