<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 26059043, member: 78298&quot;]Yeah I always believed the shell case cents story, but some time ago there was a very knowledgeable member here who explained there is no evidence at all that</p><p>the spent shell casings were melted down and used to make pennies.</p><p>The time it would take to collect these things, and melt them down, and there wouldn&#039;t be enough to make a fraction of the coins that were minted and the</p><p>composition of the 1944-1946 is exactly the same as the other cents. Not all bullets are created equally and there would be all kinds of metals in these coins, and there aren&#039;t. It&#039;s just a myth that has been accepted as truth.</p><p>The reason I believed it, I always felt these coins toned differently. Billions of bullets would have to have been fired at US gun ranges and the number was</p><p>probably only in the millions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
