[QUOTE="kanga, post: 935348, member: 9270"]Question is, "Is it worth it?" Current value of the metals in a pre-1982 cent is about 1.9 cents. But how much would the energy cost to melt them? And who would buy a copper/zinc alloy? And how much would you have to have before they'd buy? And finally how much under spot would they pay? Best guess: You'd need to be dealing with tons of the stuff for it to be worthwhile.[/QUOTE]
