  • Numatic? Pneumatic? Yes... let us study the effects of gas on moving parts. Of course, you could consider NUMISMATIC for the coins, this guy is talking about. "Pneumatic..." LOL

  • I'm not so sure about the "Protect you from hyperinflation" idea concerning copper as opposed to silver and gold. Copper has a very low value to weight ratio. As of today, 9.5lbs of that stuff is equivalent to one oz silver in value. Regardless, I still go after these coins and avoid spending nickels. I believe they are more useful as a wealth gaining aspect as opposed to trade. Collecting these pennies is similar to buying a DJIA stock at $4,500 percentage wise with a waiting period to sell.

  • @eyewarnedyou

    "There was one year (1942) when steel was used because of a copper shortage during WWII, but they are very difficult to find anymore. "

    Hey I have a 1942. Is it worth a bit more than the other ones.

  • @BIGBKELtheGOD its 1943 that is steel, and we weren't short we needed copper for guns and ammo u can tell cuz it will be silvery

  • You cant eat copper, or silver, or gold for that matter. Buy land.

  • @a1stooge

    I have land as well. I just stay in this Apartment close to where I was raised to help my Mother who is now in her 70's and slowed down quite a bit.

  • @BIGBKELtheGOD smart man!

  • @a1stooge You can't eat land either....

  • @VDBpenny1995 Yeah but you can grow food on it is what I think he's implying. You can also dig a hole and make a really nice fallout shelter.

  • @a1stooge: Land can be taken.

  • Why not just spread the pennies on the floor then run a magnet over it. New pennies are megnetic old are not

  • @Tysoncns

    "Why not just spread the pennies on the floor then run a magnet over it. New pennies are megnetic old are no"

    GREAT ADVICE!

  • @BIGBKELtheGOD New pennies are made from zinc NOT steel which is NOT magnetic

  • @Tysoncns WRONG!

    Zinc is NOT magnetic!

  • @Tysoncns This applies to canadian pennies. USA pennies are zinc post 1982

  • Get rolls of nickels, there is almost 7 cents worth of copper in a nickel. The problem is you can not melt down pennies or nickels, legally.

  • All great in theory, but copper is a base metal inflated by economic growth, gold on the other hand is precious metal inflated by economic depletion. So a copper penny now at $0.028 will in a hyper-inflation market will follow the market falls.

  • Sorry but I don't think it will be quite that cheap. Copper prices will go down with demand as your seeing now. You'll have to spend the big chips to buy silver and gold like everybody else.

  • @pullapeace That. And, Canadian copper pennies have a higher percentage of copper. I think it's 98% to the US's 95%.

  • So after you sort the copper from the zinc pennies, how do you go about returning them to the bank? Do you have to re-roll them? Are there any ways to automate that to make it faster?

  • @buckeyemike81

    My Federal Credit Union has an electronic coin sorter where you can just dump the change and have it count for you so it saves a great deal of time. And it's free for customers.

  • So the idea is to hang on to them until the financial collapse? Can they be sold for more than 1 cent each right now?

  • @scoopydupe

    "So the idea is to hang on to them until the financial collapse? Can they be sold for more than 1 cent each right now?"

    No the idea is to save enough copper pennies to where you reach a set amount of pounds worth of them that you are willing to let go in a trade.

    For example: Say you have 100 pounds of copper pennies. You go to EBAY and let People bid for them or you go to a Coin Shop that will buy them from you.

    Once you get cash you can buy more Silver/Gold or barter items.

  • Copper on the rise again. The pre1982 are now 2.9 cent each and will be 3 cents again in no time and to be higher. Copper to pass $5 later this year.

  • Just remember, there were some zinc pennies made in 82. The 95% copper weigh 3.11 grams, and if they are 2.5 grams, they are 95% zinc. I pick out copper pennies in change, but also nickels of any age. ALL nickels are worth about 6.7 cents with nickel floating around $11 a pound, and nickels being 25% nickel. Plus I like fractional silver, like the 64 and older 90% silver dimes, which can be had for about $3 each at coin shops. Keep stacking!

  • don't sleep on the 1982 pennies. 70 percent of 1982 pennies are copper.

  • I have $70 melt value worth of copper pennies and nickels so far.

  • Great message, Thank you!!!

  • The price of copper is going up. thats why ppl are pillaging these old houses.

  • Great video. We can't do that in Australia as they stopped copper coins in the '80's. If we had them I'd do it. I do scrap metal and get $200 after a few hours collecting copper, iron, alum and others.

  • interesting video

    

  • @pullapeace

    Canadian Pennies are actually better because they didn't stop using copper til 1996 in fact 1996 is the last year that they minted their pennies with copper.

  • Excellent video.

    Even I you are fortunate enough to have silver bullion, you might not even be able to use it if it goes to 400-500 dollars an ounce. I'm willing to bet everyone has in their home a good amount of copper; I'm not even talking about plumbing. I'm talking about anything. Last year I was about to throwout a ~5lb. copper amplifier coil! Thank go I didn't, lol. We take this stuff for granted.

  • Wheat pennies don't have more copper than regular copper pennies. I usually sell them on Craigslist (start at 6 cents each in bulk), so I can use the money to get more copper.

  • Doing the same thing, finding less and less pre 82's

  • Thank you

  • Right on,  today each penny in that date range is worth: $0.0281667 :)

  • @id780

    That's nearly 3 cents while the U.S. Dollar is worth almost 4cents of it's former purchasing Power prior to the Federal Reserve! Amazing! That truly says it all!

  • @id780 Hey, how do you calculate the price of todays value of the penny?

  • @MOBBMEDIA I cheat check out: coinflation doot com

  • I Like The Canadian pennies All 1996 and older are copper  , with 1 Box (2500 coins) I get about 1200 Copper pennies , + some pretty nice find ,

    great video by the way

  • Comment removed

  • @TheHotRod1961

    No where near 50 Thou yet but it won't take long. I'll probably sell them to someone so I can get some more Silver. Don't know yet.

  • @BIGBKELtheGOD its grea to see others catching on,i will be making a vid later this week on my copper stash,been doing it for almost a year at a rate of a box every two weeks.im gona step up my game now tho.

  • @TheHotRod1961 go on ebay right now and people pay almost double face value

  • to me lead will be the most valuable metal when shit hits the fan. period. 

  • @echoman101

    "to me lead will be the most valuable metal when shit hits the fan. period."

    I agree in fact I just purchased two more hallow point ammo boxes for my 40 caliber, and 3 boxes of buckshot yesterday!

  • some 82 are copper best to do the ring test or get a digital scale copper outweighs zinc by an gram

  • @Jahbril30 just bounce em off a table,the sound will tell you what is copper (ringing) and what is zinc (thud).

  • I do this too now, I usually average $5.00 (20%) face value copper pennies per box right now & I weigh the 1982 pennies on a cheep digital gram scale to separate the copper pennies from the zincs. It's actually become a fun hobby.

  • Way to go. I've been doing this for a long time.

    It is a sad commentary on our funny money Federal Reserve system. First the gold coins went, then the silver ones went. Now we are down to pre 1982 coppers and nickels as the only intrinsic coins left.

    Hoard all you can of the pennies and nickels. Also, gather all the scrap metal you can and cash it in. Trade the paper money you get for silver.

  • I bought 300.00 worth of nickels today, at my bank. They thought I was headed to a Poker game! :)

  • @savgal1211

    When ever I go to a bank and ask for large amounts of coins everyone gives me weird looks.

  • @BIGBKELtheGOD Well, Ithought of that, Sir, and what I did was say " I am helping with a school project." It sounded vague enough, and who can look ascance at helping children? : )

  • @BIGBKELtheGOD Let them give you weird looks. It's their job to server you. None of their business what you get or what you do with it. I get boxes and boxes of coins and they don't like it when I turn them in but as the customer they work for me.

  • @siszam I recently been getting some heat from the bank manager at a Bank of America where I get and return pennies and some other coins. And I agree, I'm the customer since I an account with them therefore they do work for me. The manager at this bank is kind of an idiot though. I go to another Bank of America and they have no problem with me doing this.

  • @ScorpioBornIn69 Wow, you should go over that persons head and complain to his/her superior. I bet they have a major attitude improvement. :)

  • @savgal1211 I get asked that too!

  • excellent!

  • @SGTbull07

    Thanks! That means a lot coming from you. Keep up the good work!

  • use a magnet

  • crackheads strip wires for the copper inside to buy crack. (or meth)

  • @lexusowner

    "crackheads strip wires for the copper inside to buy crack. (or meth)"

    Yeah damn shame!

  • Your a Smart Guy. There are ways to sort your pennies Without even looking at the date.Goes a lot faster. If you have a digital scale(copper weighes more). Still a one-at-a-time-thing but...put them on scale 1 at a time, the ones that weigh more,just flick with your finger into seperate box. Or even use a piece of plywood at an angle. The Heavy,Copper pennies will slide Faster down the board. I'll buy them if you are selling. Joe.

  • great vid..i've been doing this

  • you gotta melt them into copper or just trade them in?

  • @Tuff22

    Right now People are trading them or selling them all over E-Bay ounce they count up a decent amount. Last week I saw a guy action off $50.00 of Copper Pennies for 110.00!!!

    Melting any U.S. designated currency down is illegal but once the SHTF I doubt any uniformed policy enforcer would be searching for you doing that because that will be the least of their worries once civil unrest takes place.

  • @BIGBKELtheGOD WOW!..lol for some reason i keep forgetting about ebay..

    on one hand civil unrest is good cuz you can benefit in many ways(no more getting pulled over for burnin herb or not having insurance,other niggerish activities etc. lol) but on the other, depending on where you are it wuddnt be too nice..i dunno why but something been telling me to stock up on copper piping..TONS of uses..

  • People should also collect dimes that was created before 1965 b/c it's made out of 90% silver. I respect you for making these videos b/c while these niggas are so caught up on this blaquinidigo situation, you're giving out real information that we're going to NEED for the days coming ahead.

    Btw, I'm not trying to contradict myself b/c I just made a vid on blaque but the difference between me and a lot of ppl is that I'm not so infused in it. I have a life! Peace!

  • @TheWackyWorldofO nickels dimes quarters dollars and half dollars before 1965 are money(silver 90%). Right now nickels are the best bet(25%nickel 75%copper)- and the easiest to collect(no sorting)...after 1965 most coins went to Zinc core..which is about as valuable as lead..just lighter :)

  • Hhhmmm..... My dad has like a ton of pennies he's collected since the 70's. Thanks BKEL.

  • @bmiceo

    Not a problem. A buddy of mine I gave this tip to went to his Grandma's Garage and made a killing because she has three gigantic water jugs full of pennies.

  • That's right bro kel nickles as well......
