<p>[QUOTE="AllCoExpat, post: 3228218, member: 56947"]I save them. Agree with the crowd so far that there's probably never going to be a situation where taking them to the scrap dealer is profitable, but I figure when I retire, I'll have an awfully nice backlog of older cents to look through for errors. If for some reason they ever get released back out into the wild, I hope someone gets the same surge of excitement as I do when I find a solid roll of older coins. I'm only searching about $20 a week in cents and averaging 21 coppers per roll so holding them isn't really cost prohibitive. I'm also getting ready to cash out a small hoard of nickels to convert it to shiny Double Eagle - so I try to put my hoarding to good use in the end. I find sticking a couple of rolls a week into storage an easy way to save for the bigger purchases like this that I wouldn't usually make and don't mind waiting for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
