<p>[QUOTE="newdollars, post: 638902, member: 19559"]<b>I would hold on to them until 2011 anyway to see where the penny goes. The wheats are mostly copper. The last 28 years of pennies were made of zinc with a copper coating. I remember back in the early 70's the banks were in need of pennies. You could take 95 pennies to the bank and they would give you $1.00. Now they are way over stocked. In my opinion, the penny will be a thing of the past in a few years. It cost more to make them than they are worth. I think the 2009 lincoln' are a last ditch effort to get some of the pennies out of circulation. I know I have hoarded a few boxes for the future.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
