<p>[QUOTE="10gary22, post: 1156300, member: 23626"]I save all the copper cents I find when roll searching. Just do the math. A copper cent has about 3c copper melt value. If I am able to set aside $25 a week in savings, do I want to put it in the bank and get 1% interest, or do I want to store $25 worth of copper cents ? The cents are worth $25 face value any time I want to sell them to the bank. BUT, since I am saving anyway, I can hold them and have the potential for a tripling of my savings or more at some point. I rarely find more than $5-6 a week of copper cents, so my savings goal must be made up in currency.</p><p> </p><p>But the coins won't lose value, have a potential to increase at a much greater rate than cash or other clad coins, and I want to save a little money each week. Sounds perfect to me ? As to whether it is "worth it". Who knows ? It seems to be the best approach for me though.</p><p> </p><p>gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
