It'll Still Take A Truckful To Get Rich From Them
-
I've heard that people are hoarding old pennies for the copper content, waiting for the law to change to abolish pennies and open the door to selling the pre-'83 copper coins for scrap. Of course, that assumes that scrap dealers will pay them the going rate for copper rather than lowballing them -- after all, the dealers need to make a profit, too. But this explains why people are rooting through their change jars for "wheat pennies" and other old coins. (ABC News)
