Message:: [QUOTE="coinman0456, post: 742111, member: 18177"]In an Earlier Thread, which I created , and was Edited because some members took the opportunity to make the thread a political soap box. I was also cited with an infraction of two points , for as the moderator worded it " posting a thread that was to suggestive" of encouraging a political argument . The fact is, Penny's are disappearing from circulation, and The U.S. is increasing it's copper reserves. The fact is, that the U.S. is so rich in copper reserves, but this reserve is in areas where it would be more costly to extract for other technological advancements, they have chosen to "mine" in other countries, namely Mexico and reduce significantly the circulation of the penny. Someone pointed out, in an earlier post here, that not very far off, your copper penny's quite possibly be worth up to 10 cents a piece, and that may not be far from the truth. Now Investing in copper? I would look at some  advanced U.S. mining companies that have  recently been given authority by other governments, such as Mexico has authorized the U.S. Government to mine for copper within their borders. GD made an excellent point of reference with regards to "scrap metals" and their increasing demand and increasing values. I could offer some interesting insight into that issue, but for certain there would very clear political  agenda's brought to light, and contrasting positions of thought. So we won't go there.[/QUOTE]
