Has anyone had luck or tried to get an armored carrier to deliver pennies to you? If so, what do they charge for the delivery and are you getting them to pick up your dump bags as well? Is a full load 160 boxes or more, what are we taking as an investment? Or have you been able to find away to get them loose? Just curious!

That would be worth it if you could get them to only deliver boxes weighing more than 15 pounds or so. That way you know you will be getting a decent yield of copper.
It would be a massive waste if you did this and got 200 14 pound boxes though.

| Have them meet you some place other than your home and reload into a U-Haul or something that can hold about 3,000 pounds. If you get skunked with zincers then pray for a higher priced zinc market. |

I think the armored car services will only deliver to a reasonably "safe" location. A residential neighborhood would attract a lot of unwanted attention. How would your neighbors know it's only pennies? For all they know, it's millions....Call them and ask. Worse thing they can do is say no.

Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

All they know is that an armored truck came to your house. They don't know it's only pennies. They might kill you and everyone in your house before they realize it...

Topeka that does not sound like a bad price! Safety is always a key regardless of it it is pennies or dollars! A delivery to your business would be better versus a home delivery but how many people sort coins at work. LOL! Don't answer that.... Regardless, it would be an interesting idea to determine what a full truck load might be and the total cost. Finally, yes, I do agree only deliver the 95% copper boxes please. :-)
