Message:: [QUOTE="Packrat, post: 3644948, member: 71780"]I sell a lot of copper rounds. Most people buy them for the design rather than metal value. Bullion is usually sold by the troy ounce. These are U.S. ounces. They are attractive sitting in a case and they have versatility. One lady uses them for the tooth fairy. Says it is cheaper than using real money. (as a child I was lucky to get 25 cents). Another customer uses them to mark his golf ball. Local flea market  dealer sells them with a holder for Christmas tree ornaments. Great stocking stuffers. Wide range of designs can appeal to a large audience. Most popular in our area right now seems to be Donald Trump. The U.S. coin series is always popular, as is military. Some like zodiacs, others Indians or dinosaurs. Are they worth what they cost? No. Will they go up in value? Probably not. But then many mint products are overpriced and go down in value. Everyone who collects is not interested in value. For them it does not have to be a business; it is more about fun. Probably good that we all do not collect the same thing.[/QUOTE]
