[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 3041643, member: 90692"]I capitulate. For some reason, the smelter thing didn't register then like it did just now. So the quandary remains: 1. I don't want to release these worn-out or environmentally damaged pre-'82 [I][B]bronze [/B][/I](Thank you, VKB) cents back into the wild, thinking of other, newer collectors who might consider them collectable, or 2. No reason to keep them but no way to melt them. They are not worth sending back to the mint for destruction, which they probably would not even accept, or maybe a Federal Reserve bank? Banks will accept worn-out or damaged currency and cull it out for destruction, do they do that for coins? I will research this, but unless someone else has a better idea, I guess I need to bury them and thank them for their service, let mother nature finish what she started...Spark[/QUOTE]
