I'll have whatever you're having :whiste: I prefer your version of reality.
Yep, back in 1975. The modern bank and even credit union screws its customers. "Yes, that is a perfectly serviceable coin counter sitting back there behind our counter. No, we can't count your coins and deposit the money into your account. As the OP says you have to roll and label your coins because, well, screw you."
yeah, copper pennies are worth about 2 cents for the copper they have. Still not profitable for a person at home to smelt the copper out into bricks and sell it.
No, but i see no reason to pay more than i think it is worth to convert them especially when copper will only go up in value? I mean, if you're going to spend all of the cash right away, you don't have room for them, and you don't mind paying the face fee, then you'll be fine. However, the govt banking complex that I'm sure you don't like just get to save it all and the system artificially drives up the cost of raw materials that way. I may be able to sell them to someone who makes copper products and they can melt them or separate them, but I'm going to wait until i think that the time is right.
what??? hahhaah 100% wrong.
