I used to save every copper penny that came my way just for that reason. I had nearly five coffee cans full of pure copper pennies. Quite a bit of weight; worth a lot more in copper value than the value of the pennies. But, someone got the not-so-wise idea to take all my pennies to the change counting machine and turned them in for bills. I still get sad about that every time I come across an old penny. You don't see them much anymore.Did ya know that modern pennies have very little copper in them?
The old copper pennies? The copper content in them is worth more then the penny itself [emoji14]
