Poll Question:
How big is your copper pennie hoard? Go ahead and add in the 82s if you like. By the way, the results of this poll will be sent on to the federal reserve.

i hope this survey also include the Canadian cents  :
i estimated that i have about 100-120 pounds of canadian copper cents, given the average of a canadian copper cent is about 2.75 grams, i have about 160-170 canadian dollars worth of copper cents

| I'm mostly collecting canadian nickels, but I did buy one box of pennies once and it was about 50% coppers, which i kept. I now sort out the coppers in my day-to-day change and in the till at work, and add them to that box, but haven't bought any boxes since then. |

just a note:
my 2.75 gram/penny guesstimate is in no way exact, or even scientific |

as of now, i have 22000 canada pure nickels, evenly, and almost completely fill up 10 2-L plastic pop bottles(each weighs 22 pounds, 10 kgs), and some canadian 98% copper pennies, i will let my brother and sister to help me store them;
on Oct 15th, i will go back to Hong Kong to work for a period of time(i don't know how long yet), so, maybe by the time i come back, nickels and copper cents are being traded by coin dealers just like what junk silver coins are being traded right now
i hope there is still some pure nickels for me to be picked out when i come back in years' time, until then, good luck with all your hoardings
i checked with the metal contents in Hong Kong's coins, they are still far from worthy of being hoarded, so i can concentrate on my day job there |
