Lets forget BIG time sorting. yea yea the big time guys hording tons and tons of copper. but what about the people that still work a 9-5 job and only use the weekends for this hobby. How do they get into this craze with out sending a fortune on bank bags or boxes. I'ts simple.... pocket change. Just the other day I went through a jar of mixed pocket change and found two whole rolls of copper,three weats,and 1 indian head.
So I find pocket change very useful to the people with a low bujet or are first getting into the craze.

Scored a 1936 King George V penny in my mom's pocket change on the weekend. It was sitting on her washing machine - and I spotted it right away!
You can get plenty of good finds by just opening your eyes. You will also spend less and get more coins to look at if you leave your credit cards at home and work only with cash. |

It doesn't have to be that expensive. For example, if you spend a net $10 a week (after dumping zincs) on this hobby, its conceivable that you could end up about 50,000 pennies after one year. That's well north of 300 pounds of copper. Not a bad stash.
But by all means get the copper pennies out of your change. Every Friday my wife goes through her change purse for copper pennies and nickels. I probably have a roll of copper just from the pennies I've pick up off the ground in the last year. Every little bit helps. |

People who work with me find what i do to be a riot. I've often been handed the pennies from the desk register simply because they'd rather not have to deal with them at close. Our office works in whole number increments it's fun for a break in the day.

I have gotten pretty good at making the change I should get end up in cents and nickels. I shoot for eight cents as many clerks will grab a cent from the take a penny bin rather than make nine cents change, but eight cents is too many for them to figure.
It also helps that most clerks are too ignorant to understand change, and they just do what the computer tells them.
