| 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 |

| I am running into the "f"(ee) word when I try to dump large amounts of pennies. Lucky my percentages are high, but still, I'm having to spread the dumping action around which cuts way down on the number of source banks. |

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.

| 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? |
"Rich," the Old Man said dreamily, "is not baying after what you can't have. Rich is having the time to do what you want to do. Rich is a little whiskey to drink and some food to eat and a roof over your head and a fish pole and a boat and a gun and a dollar for a box of shells. Rich is not owing any money to anybody, and not spending what you haven't got." Robert Ruark

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!

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."

| 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. |
