| I'm not telling. Well somewhat because I'm unsure. Howbout, when its not worth my time/money/etc to keep doing it. Let's say gas goes up more, I wont be driving to pickup pennies, I wont be going to lunch to get change in pennies. If electricity prices go up more, I wont be running the coin artist as much or my counter. |

| i will stop when my percentages get down to about 5-10% or something like that, it also depends on how much copper is worth, if my percentages drop a lot, but the prices go up a lot i would still sort. i just put When there is none in circulation |

| Tougher times will put a squeeze on many people's coin hoarding and precious metal hoarding habits. But one needs to consider that if inflation is hurting you then that's all the more reason to hoard. There are limits for everyone, but once the opportunity is gone it will be gone for good. |

I have been saving all my loose change for the past 30 years so that now I have five 5 gallons plastic water containers full and now working on number 6.
But besides the above I now also have 43 nickels bricks...... in time to come the meral coins will be more valuable than the paper fiat. |

| I've already done the 1st 5 items. The correct answer for me is when it's no longer economically feasible to collect copper pennies. |

Satisfied with my hoard, I've already cut back quite a bit. That being said, I did sort $20 today.  |
