had a discussion about melting pennies for profit, so i tested to see if i could to it, and as it turns out, i can melt a penny with my jet lighter, but I spent about 50 cents worth of butane, to get 2 1/2 cents from a penny, so im taking a loss of about 48 and 1/2 cents. cool though.

  • 1,That penny is made of zinc, not copper. so it's not worth 2 and 1/2 cents.

    2, 50 minus 2 and 1/2 doesn't equal 48 and 1/2.

    3, Your room looks like a meth head lives there.

  • @guns4good

  • Wow people are all such pansies, acting like drones crying about how he broke the law. He melted a penny... Stop acting like the kid from grade school pointing their fingers and running to the teacher.

  • @QuicksilverdotFX i know that the in 1943 they made steel pennies theoretically speaking you know for 1982 and before its copper mostly

  • @sheldon176 Wrong. Several pennies in that year range has considerably lower copper. One year is actually steel.

  • pennies from 1909-1982 are 95% copper anything after is zinc

  • @darkfox356 except the few that was made from copper and worth a shitload of money

  • melting a penny on an alluminum can?!?! wuuuuuut never heard of it

  • @MrNenni you've clearly missed the first comment, his room looks like a meth head lives there. That's why the DEA would come in..

  • You expected the DRUG ENFORCEMENT AGENCY TO BUST IN??? Maybe the FBI or others, but the DEA

  • @bottomlands 50 minus the 1 and 1/2 profit is 48 and 1/2. Or 50 cent loss on the butane plus the 1 cent for the penny is 51, minus the 2.5 cent profit is 48.5. Think before you speak.
