Dollar values for US Circulated coin in this video obtained from coinflation.com 12/22/2011 16 Rolls of 50 Pennies Sampled (800 pennies) Average Copper per roll (of 50) found was 15 or 30%
I sort all my change, pull the quarters out for the car wash, save the nickels, sort the pennies out and save the real ones. Then I only have to take the dimes and slug pennies back to the bank. I used to look at the dates on pennies, but this was time consuming and you still need to figure out whether 1982 pennies were real or slugs since it was a changeover year. Then I weighed them (3.1 g = real, 2.5 g = slug). Now I just drop them on the counter and listen for the ring!
I am very tired of them manipulating the market and robbing us blind. There should be a deep, dark, dank, off shore prison cell for the thieves running our financial markets and economies. Congress has allowed this to happen and to continue. They have a place in those prisons. The entire system is broken. Voting will not fix this problem because it is a part of the same system. People need to wake up now.
Thank you for all the info you put out in your many venues.
Also, you are only finding 20 real pennies out of 400? That is only 5%, I usually come up with more like 20%, but that is sorting pocket change, getting rolls might be lower. Sounds like lots of “hoarders” (aka wise people) in your area.
@DontTread0nMe1776 No 20 per roll of 50 was typical but it seems often times it is under 20 per roll as of late. Check my more info which gives stats on the 400 coin sample I looked at today.
I picked up a few rolls of quarters at the bank for laundry, etc.
I carefully peel back the paper, which I don’t normally do, and what do I find… something is not quite right… something is glowing bright white… one silver quarter, worth $5.80 at that moment. Tells you a lot about inflation and seigniorage.
Awesome information…..it takes 47 zinc pennies to give you the same weight in copper as 1 copper penny! Do the math…zinc pennies weigh 2.5 grams and are 2.5% copper compared to the copper penny weighing 3.1 grams and 95% copper!
