<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1750813, member: 19065&quot;]Well to be clear, there is no law in place now which clearly states that it is currently illegal to melt them, but it has been strongly urged not to do so and I think you&#039;d find it pretty hard to find a metal dealer willing to actually melt them, even if they took them off your hands for cash value.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What happens if/when Congress passes legislation to cease minting cents is anyone&#039;s guess. They&#039;ve already stopped minting 95% copper cents obviously. What has been getting tossed around lately is changing composition of the circulating coins to something cheaper and yet durable without eliminating the small cents, but even that has no clear resolution nor publicly announced plan of moving ahead.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, tf you have the will and the space you might as well go ahead and start dumping them into buckets. Chances are that if you ever did amass that many as in the example photo above, and you wanted to cash them in at a bank or coin star, you&#039;d have to crack all those rolls to feed them through a coin counter. So I think you can save your time by not rolling them or utilize the time sorting them out by general condition or date or separate all that you find with traces of verdi gris on them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
