<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 24609851, member: 104064&quot;]That BBC article really stretches the truth. &quot;The coins, which are made from pure copper, pre-date 1943, when the US began using other metals to make the one cent coin due to World War Two shortages.&quot; - Yeah, that was for one year. There is absolutely no evidence that all, or any, of the coins pre-date 1943. </p><p><br /></p><p>Like what [USER=73606]@derkerlegand[/USER] quoted above, &quot;When the nation switched from copper to zinc to press its pennies, Fritz saw an opportunity to help build generational wealth for his family.&quot; <a href="https://www.wfla.com/news/national/family-finds-1-million-copper-pennies-while-cleaning-out-los-angeles-home/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.wfla.com/news/national/family-finds-1-million-copper-pennies-while-cleaning-out-los-angeles-home/" rel="nofollow">https://www.wfla.com/news/national/family-finds-1-million-copper-pennies-while-cleaning-out-los-angeles-home/</a> - which I believe is the original news article. The implication from that sentence is that the guy started piling up copper cents after 1982. I bet there aren&#039;t many wheat cents in there. </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;You see all these stories of people finding pennies worth $2 million&quot; - what on earth? I can&#039;t think of any 1c coins selling for $2 million, let alone multiple stories. Mr. Reyes needs a dose of reality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
