RE: Finding copper in the tailings pile

In a related activity I collected copper pennies before they were declared non legal tender as they are worth about 2.5x the face value, same with the nickels worth at least 1.7x face. Commodity value that is. I get the feeling because the terrible long term effects of inflation we will be forced back to a Sound money system hence my stacking silver coin.

I have a lot of older Canadian pennies, I've been collecting them for about 40 years or so. We get them in change sometimes here in Upper Michigan.
The U. S. quit making real copper pennies in 1981 I believe. Everything since then is copper clad base metal. I have a few pounds of pre 1981 pennies. :-)
