    At the request of @Stevearino and @352sdeer .. I want to show about 14 pounds of damaged, corroded, and some disgusting Cents that I have accumulated over the past 9 years of metal detecting :yack:
    Steve.. Honestly I don't know what to do with these! Not even the Coinstar machine will accept them.

    @paddyman98 Wouldn't the Federal Reserve Bank in New York take them off your hands?

    My bank will take damaged cents at face and turn into the federal reserve for destruction.

    They count them by hand. They put the cents in a self sealing envelope fill out a piece of paper and attach the paper to the envelop . The most I've taken is 7 rolls, 350 coins before. Usually I take 50 at a time from detecting finds.

    At this point....drop them off at a bank that will send them off to the fed and let the fed figure out how much its worth.
    You could ebay them as found metal detecting stuff or play the cleaned out the wishing well fountain.
