<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dayriser, post: 844747, member: 21610&quot;]I find most of my interesting oddities and errors in the dates prior to &#039;82 so I keep a running jar of them that i put under the microscope a little at a time when I get bored.&nbsp; If I don&#039;t find something unusual, they go back into the spending change.&nbsp; I don&#039;t bother even keeping the au&#039;s from those dates anymore because there are just too many out there.&nbsp; I have also seen guys selling rolls from those dates for $1.25 or so, but they are usually claimed as AU/BU rolls or some such thing.&nbsp; I doubt I could sell a roll of &#039;81&#039;s in circulated condition for more than face.&nbsp; As for keeping it as &#039;bullion&#039; or melt value later, I assume we are talking of a time when they will no longer be minted, however, I don&#039;t see that that would clear the way to legally melt U.S. currency.&nbsp; If the melt value of copper were so much greater than the value of a cent, I imagine the government would demand all the pennies be brought to banks to be traded in, like FDR and the GOLD. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>B[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
