Sold a few hundred pounds of copper last week. Got to thinking.
It takes approx 200 pennies to make a lb. Value at the bank = $2.00.
If melted down those same pennies would bring around $3.60 at the scrap yard.
When our money is worth more for scrap than it is at the bank, something is way out of kilter.
