<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 26373859, member: 27832&quot;]Well, that site <i>does</i> say to call them if you&#039;re looking to sell. I&#039;m betting they&#039;ll still pay above face value -- but not enough above face value to be worthwhile to anyone who places value on their own time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure, pre-1982 cents contain copper &quot;worth&quot; more than face value. And sure, as inflation continues, that multiple will increase, until eventually even the price for second-rate copper scrap makes it &quot;profitable&quot;. And once melting cents is legalized, refiners will optimize their processes for that mix, allowing them to pay more and still make a profit.</p><p><br /></p><p>But when each cent is worth a <i>hundred</i> times its face value, the $50 &quot;profit&quot; you&#039;ll make from selling a 50-cent roll will be just about enough to buy you a pint of gas, or a small candy bar. And Dollar General will be &quot;Benjamin General&quot;, where everything is $100. Still better than Whole Foods, which will be selling milk for $500 a gallon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
