    This is all of the copper pennies I have saved over the years. Obviously, any wheat cents, indian head cents, errors, varieties and foreign copper coins are not included.
    At $4.06/lb for copper, these coins are worth more than face value. If I ever decide to LEGALLY cash them in, I would make a nice chunk of profit.
    At worst case, even at face value, I have over $2,300 in copper pennies to be used like a savings account.
    PS: There are many people who buy copper cents by the pound to check for varieties and/or make into art. jewelry and even for home improvement projects (like flooring).
    Happy hunting and consider saving those copper cents!
