Hey everyone, I have been quite busy lately but wanted to come on to ask this.
Are ferrite cores good for scrap steel/"tin"? They seem to be made from Iron Oxide, which as far as I know, usually melts just below 3000 degrees F. Don't most steel foundries get around 3000? I just don't want to add these to my steel and get paid on weight that cannot be recycled. I don't have much but if I can, would like to toss my small collection into my steel collection.

Also, in the U.S., it should be legal to melt canadian pennies, right? I don't get much of these since I am in California but have a few pounds, so can pre-1997 pennies be sold as scrap? I would like to toss these into #2 scrap but feel weird about it. If it's legal, do the scrap yards really want to deal with these coins? Perhaps a could mix a few Canadian pennies into other scrap copper each time I take a trip?
Thanks for any advice.
