But youre missing the copper and nickel content in the quarters,dimes,nickels and pre1982 pennies.The face value might be worthless but the metal itself wont be.
But the main reason im saving it is incase i need money for something but dont want to use my paper. Change gets tossed in a bucket and forgotten about till the bucket is full. If i find a "toy" i want to buy,i can use the change instead of my bill money.
Jokingly i asked my bullion dealer if hed take rolled coins. He said he would take all the rolls i got.almost shit himself when i said i had about 700 dollars worth.
Its taken me about 6 months to save up 700 dollars worth of change.
Well, I have saved my nickels over the years and have about 6 or 7 pounds of the stuff. They seem to be the only current US coinage that has any usable metal (nickel) in them. Other coins I regularly take to my bank, which has a coin counter, and they write me a check for it. Like you, I use the check to buy (ahem!) more pew-pews or tactical gear. Pennies, not so much, I can't check through every penny for the dates so they go into the coin jar to be redeemed.
Pennies are kinda easy to sort. Most times you can tell just by the color. The copper ones will be a dark brown color. Or toss them on a scale.2.5 grams for the fake 1982-present zinc.3 grams for pre 82 copper.
The 1982 pennies have to be wieghed. 82 was the change over year.some are copper some are zinc.
I'd have to consider the economics of it. Quarters and dimes are, as you say, mostly copper, BUT there are costs associated with extracting the copper from these coins. If the cost to extract is more than the value of the actual copper, no smelter or dealer would want them.
It's sort of like silver plate flatware. Sure there is a modicum of silver in them, but it costs more to extract the silver than the spot price of the actual silver content; therefore, no one wants silver plate.
So I will continue hoarding the nickels, as nickel does have some industrial value. Still not sold on the dimes, quarters and pennies.
Coins can be good, there are some that the value by far out weigh the face or metal value. Been saving some of them all my life and you would be surprised what gets circulated around by people who don't pay attention. It is rare, but I seem to find collectables passed to me a few times a year.
I dont really look for errors or anything. I pick out any silver if it shows up. I do look for the blind bats,some of those go for a couple hundred bucks. I have 1. I also look for the W mint quarters.
The only reason I feel any better about my finances is because I've been hoarding silver (and food and water and filtration systems and such) for a few years.
Let's see. Today, will I press forward or taste the sun because financial strain has become too much? Yea... we're feeling good about finances alright... karma will circle back eventually.
She doesn't speak for anyone.
She speaks for insane sodomites.
Someone should ask her for some sauce on that.
She has no frkg clue.
It really pisses me off when they say 'the american people want...' Nobody EVER asked me, I bet nobody asked you.
They might have tried in a research telemarketer type call, but I never answer those..lol
Well,i do but it has nothing to do with biden. It was my decision to stack silver and gold. Ive also decided to roll up and stack my change.
Silver and gold I get... I do the same. But change? I've always thought that if the currency is worthless, the modern debased coinage would be too.

Years ago on separate occasions, I found some Kennedy half’s with errors. Still holding.
Show your work, bitch.
DAT'S RAYCISS!!!!
She must mean the big Pharma, Elites, Swamp critters, those Americans.

Well, you should believe her because she is an historic figure, right?
And by "Americans" she means ZELENSKY
Of course we do bigot. because the black rectangle told me./s
Let's see. Today, will I press forward or taste the sun because financial strain has become too much? Yea... we're feeling good about finances alright... karma will circle back eventually.
Such a historical figure
I only feel better about my finances when I'm finally able to convert paper trash into gold, a crypto wallet, or a directly registered stock share.
Everything else is fake.
Been unemployed for 6 months with a PhD in a Stem field. Every job now has over 200 applicants. Meanwhile the financial markets are tanking.
Yeah I'm great, couldn't be better. Biden is a dream scenario..... from my nightmares.
I have a quarter of a million reasons to tell the pervert diversity hire why she should fuck off.
No. Picking and choosing what to get at the grocery store today since I most likely won't be able to get everything I need.
They laugh at us…. Mock us.
FUCK NO!!!!! pardon my "French".....
This is the greatest psyop in the history of the world and the first one run by the good guys 🤷🏼♂️
I don't have any personal finances left to feel anything about!
(snort!) If "Americans" equals "Hunter Biden" it works.
