<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1317581, member: 31533&quot;]I didn&#039;t say this to upset you or anyone. I just mentioned in my case, as a person who is now in the unenviable position of trying to get a job at over 50, to continue to be able to pay my bills. There is not enough time for me to collect and sell copper cents based on their metal content in order to continue living as someone who has a home to go to. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know teens have it especially hard these days as jobs are scarce to non-existent.&nbsp; I have also had a hard time finding a job, as my marketable skills aren&#039;t quite sufficient for jobs that require a college degree, and few people like to hire people who are &quot;over-qualified&quot; (a fun term that says, yes you can do the job, and your previous experience is ok, we could hire you based on that, but you have that college education, so we don&#039;t want you because you will be &quot;unsatisfied&quot; with this measly position, and leave quickly). You don&#039;t know how many times I&#039;ve had to simply put down on an application my HS info and leave all my college off it. Sometimes that was the only way I could find a job. I was recently &quot;unemployed&quot; (though the government had me in the &quot;not-counted&quot; portion, so I didn&#039;t contribute to the unemployment level) for nearly a year and a half.&nbsp; I have a part-time jobnow, which I hope to have last for a while,&nbsp; but who knows? </p><p><br /></p><p>You, at least, are being creative in trying to make a go at the coin searching. And if you can make a go at it, that&#039;s fine. I didn&#039;t realize at the time I made the choice to stop hoarding copper cents (of which I only had about 30.00 worth) that I could also sell it on line for a bit more, but even so, it wasn&#039;t going to pay my bills.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
