I merely made two forums more visible by removing their sub-forum status. It should help in the long run.

Wonder if pennies could be used to make boolits, lead has a higher value then a penny right now lol

We had best consult with a numistmatist on this one.

After 19xx pennies have merely been a copper wash over a zinc base.

Wish I could recall what year that was.

Heck, I wish I could remember eating breakfast.

I thought it was 1982, but on Googling it I found that the change occurred during the 1982 run, so some 1982 pennies are copper and some are copper-washed zinc. 1983 and later are all zinc ones.

Whatever. Not long ago I proposed casting bullets out of zinc --what they're making pennys (pennies?) out of these days-- and y'all scorned and laughed at me.

Not me. I thought it was an interesting field for experiment. Not that I've done any experimenting with it...

so, I wonder if you smelt a bunch of new pennies, seperate the zinc and the copper, sell each back to the scrap yard.... probably make more money than the pennies are worth!

I think pennies cost more than a cent to make. If not, close to it.

The fact that it's illegal to deface or destroy pennies probably doesn't make any difference to any one on this forum!:mrgreen:

actually it's not.

otherwise all those 'flatten the penny machine with the theme park logo on it" would not be allowed.
