| I've picked up 12 boxes of halves ($6K) a number of times, and once picked up 24 boxes of dimes (still $6K). My banks would hate ME quick if I switched to cents. HH Mark |

Biggest for me in one day was 80.. but that was spread across 3 different banks. 48 at one bank, 24 at the one across town and 12 at one near work.  Standard order is 24 boxes at a time. |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Let me see if I understand this? If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 years hard labor; the Iranian border illegally you are detained indefinitely. If you cross the US border illegally, you get a driver’s license, a social security card, welfare, food stamps, free health care!

| Okay, who was the guy who voted over 100 boxes? Show yourself Mr. SuperHoarder! Or are you going to be like a SuperHero and not reveal your true identity? |

You mean you don't hoard copper full-time?
Nah, it's just a hobby. Doesn't pay enough to do full time.
I know who it is that was over 100 also. He picked up $6000 (a bit under 2 tons because a lot of it was zinc) in one day from one of his banks. He had to make several trips to do it though. I am not going to reveal who it is in case he wants to remain anonymous. |

| 36 boxes - $900 face is my largest single day cent acquisition - you should have seen the springs on the Chrysler Sebring - hah - the rear end was about 2 inches off the ground. I believe that was about 540 pounds in the trunk. |

I would loved to see the Sebring with all those pennies in it!

| The most for me was 36 boxes. I have an astro van so I didn't even know they were back there. My car usually always has 4 boxes of pennies on the floor. I pick them up from work on a usual basis. ( grocery store) They yield the most copper but I don't want to push my luck trying to get the bookkeeper to order more. |

| How long does it take to sort 50 plus boxes? I assume you must have a machine |

| Goes even faster with multiple machines. Of course you have to spread your dumps around afterward to get rid of all those zincs. |
