Penny wieght

[thersonly_1]

Some may say I waisted my money but I purchased a copper penny sorter. Cost $80 but now I go thro $25 in five min.
Reading about the significant weight difference in the copper vs zinc concerns me tho.
My "dump" bank that I take my zinc to does not allow us to turn in wrapped coin they have to weigh it in plastic bags. I wonder I'd thier scale is set to weigh copper or zinc. I bring them bags with $40 worth of penny's I hope I am not getting short changed.

Try this:

1. Count number of pennies going back into bag.
2. Drop bag off.
3. Wait to see deposit.

1. Bring in $40 of copper pennies of the same amount to see if it gives you any more.

2. Grind some lead up, say half a pound or so, and put it in the bag.
3. IF they find out, tell them it must have gotten in it when you tripped and dropped it on the ground.
4. If they do find out, it won't be bad because then they will accept rolls and stop this weighing crap.

That sucks. Either they need a different method, or you need to move your penny hunting elsewhere. A couple bucks off ate up any potential profit you may have had.
