<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MVC, post: 344978, member: 5290&quot;]As last weekend approached, I thought I would enjoy the weekend by doing some massive roll searching.&nbsp; So I bought 6 boxes of cents/pennies at 3 different banks.&nbsp; Yes, it is a sickness, and no, I do not think I will get rich doing this.&nbsp; The first two from bank X have been searched and yielded typical results.&nbsp; The next 4 boxes were a stunning discovery.&nbsp; These 4 boxes, two from bank Y and two from bank Z were ALL zinc pennies.&nbsp; No, not all brand new pennies, but all circulated zinc and ALL were dated 1982-2007.&nbsp; It was as if the copper fairy just took all the copper away.&nbsp; Again, this was 4 boxes from two completely different banks (not branches) one from the east side of town and one from the west side of town.&nbsp; Somebody or something took all the copper out of what I imagine was a HUGE batch of pennies.&nbsp; The boxes were actually dated the same (3/5/08) with the same CWI and inspection number so they all were boxed up on the same day but delivered to different banks.&nbsp; I was stunned and could not believe it&nbsp; So, what conclusions should I draw from this:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; &nbsp; Somebody searched an enormous amount of pennies that all ended up in several boxes and it was an incredible coincidence that I got them, or:</p><p>2.&nbsp; &nbsp; Somebody within the distribution process has devised a mechanical way to extract copper from circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
