The US Mint is in the process of stopping production of pennies. I think '82 and earlier are solid copper which may be worth a save for your kids' kids :)
You can get 500% return on investment by getting pennies from a bank, taking the pre 82 out, and taking the junk ones back for a new batch. They won't like you but it's a bank, so screw them. You won't get rich but I'll take a 5X ROI any time.
You could make a hopper to feed the pennies onto a conveyor belt with a channel divider. 3 Lanes 1 is for dirty pennies that can't be read, another is for pennies that could be read and were after '82 and a catch bin for '82 or older. Wouldn't be the toughest build and probably able to go through a 5 gallon bucket in a day.

"500%" return on pennies? We need time as a perspective. Give us hours per roll of pennies.

This is what coinstar machines do. The whole point they exist is to scoop out the older valuable coins
They keep them for the company? or it notifies you like hey this ones valuable?
That would almost be worh melting them down into copper ingots, but I'm no forging expert
I agree
Ig what I meant by my post was, it is not a natural shortage. This is being forced
Better to get them some pre-1965 quarters
If you can find'em.
