Did you pay for your hospital bill with the post 82 penneys. Hope everything is OK. If you went to the bank on the way home you're an animal. Keep searching tiger.

Do you keep the pre-82 pennies because they have more copper in them? If that's the case, I'll start that myself.

I do, Bob, as a long term investment. I don't think many people are turning them in for copper scrap value right now, but are holding them in case copper continues to go through the roof. At the very least, they will never be worth less than a penny! Right now, the copper pennies are easily available and plentiful, and only cost you one cent.
Here's a place to check the value of your copper pennies and other coinage with intrinsic value:

I keep the pre-1982's as an future investment...wouldn't think about scrapping them now...HobBob and I are thinking alike...HH
