<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mynamespat, post: 2669124, member: 83738&quot;]Gilding Metal is 95% copper 5% zinc.&nbsp; It is used for primarily for brass bullet casings.&nbsp; It would seem to be the most obvious use of brass cents.&nbsp; If you could explain to me why a scrapper couldn&#039;t put brass cents with bullet casings, you have a very strong point.&nbsp; However, I do have anecdotal evidence of this occuring before it became illegal to melt/scrap cents- I just won&#039;t post this information on a public forum.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So far, you have presented zero evidence to support your argument that this is not an economically feasible operation.&nbsp; I have given you evidence that it is is.&nbsp; You have denied every single thing I&#039;ve told you with no premise other than your opinion.&nbsp; I guess your opinion if more accurate than facts.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So now, I respond to you with the same crap you&#039;ve been giving.&nbsp; I believe with the information I have provided you should be able to conclude that without the current legislation preventing melting/exporting of the US cent is the only thing keeping the US 95% copper cent from being melted en masse.</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>It&#039;s your turn to prove your point</b>.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, it doesn&#039;t seem like a complicated matter.&nbsp; Metallurgy is a science.&nbsp; It is not mystical magic.&nbsp; They know exactly how much of each composition of metal to use.&nbsp; They know exactly the procedure to follow.&nbsp;&nbsp; They know exactly how much fuel it will use.&nbsp; It has been done; it is probably being done in small scale as we speak; it will be done again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
