<p>[QUOTE=&quot;windwalker, post: 1677018, member: 38923&quot;]I have been roll searching pennies for ahile now and I believe that the dwingling percentages of copper is due to a combination of different factors.&nbsp; (1)&nbsp; an increase in the number of roll searchers (hand and machine), (2)&nbsp; the number of companies that are selling large lots of copper and wheat cents, (3)&nbsp; the continued minting of the penney and (4) time.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The item that continues to play havoc on the percentage of copper and wheat found in circulation is the continued production, with more being produced the amount left in circulation goes down.&nbsp; Impacting on everything is time.&nbsp; The greated amount of time between mint date and finding leaves open the opportunity for cents to be damaged and lost.&nbsp;&nbsp; So I think the biggest culprits are current production and time. </p><p><br /></p><p>If the penny goes away right now it&#039;s not going to boost the number of either the wheat or copper cents.&nbsp; What&#039;s lost is lost and will not be replaced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
