potential coin shortage??

[JDMEG-6]

kinda funny....
cuz i work at Global Recycling (which is where i am now)
we deal w/ scrap copper, metal, aluminum, and alloy...

thoughts off pocketing a few bits of copper HAS crossed my mind... lol

 

[Seany-izzle]

ask em if you can, and do it.

 

[JDMEG-6]

i would have to pocket it...
what we do is seperate everything into diff. piles (copper w/ copper, aluminum w/ aluminum.. etc) then load it on a truck and its then shipped off to china...

i saw some silver pennies... what was i looking at?

prob the steel blanks from WW2 era when copper went for bullets

yep, 1942's are steel.

they really aren't worth a whole lot more than any other 40's penny. they made a metric shit ton of them.

so i know that a nickel shortage has drove up the price of stainless steel so what does any one know what that does to the value of a nickel

 

[posol]

umm... today's 5 cent pieces are only 25% nickel, and 75% copper.
there's actually more copper in a nickel than in a penny.
