Congratulations! I expect to see you at the coin show near me this weekend so I can pick up my autograph. You aren't going to charge 10 rolls of pennies for it or anything like that are you?
and a FREE copper cent as well! |

Maybe we can start a penny hoarding groupie club and follow the stars around to all the coin shows to get our autographs.
Anyone want to nominate a president?
If there are ever any penny hoarding groupies...I'd prefer it to not be you dudes....
When hoarding....size matters! |

"Jonathan Day: Like anything, there's a possible chance of a good return. But there are a lot of factors that are going against you with your penny investment.
Starting with the fact that it's illegal to melt down or export pennies and nickels. Violators face a fine of $10,000 or five years in prison. Hoarders say they're waiting to see if the year-old ban will be lifted. But what they'd really like is for the penny to be retired. Then they can legally turn their coins into scrap metal."
If the pennies get retired, what are all you guys going to do? |

I think Andy has sold more than 100 Ryedale sorters like he said on NPR. Trying to stay under the radar for another 3 letter organization that is real popular this time of year. |

Anybody know Todd Kraemer from the article. Someone to take note of. Good thing for some of us he's in Michigan. Hoard I think you might have competition for the largest accumulation 4 tons. I'm
impressed. I want to be like that some day when I grow up. |
