TWIMC- If you get a box of rolled pennies with "X's" down the middle of the roll....don't bother looking through them....I already got the good stuff! :)

Brinks uses plastic tubes, Guarda and pretty much everyone else uses paper.

Brinks just landed a contract to pull like a million dollars in copper pennies out of circulation ,so they just turned their super sorter on. You may get the tail end of that
EDIT: Sorry It was ..."$5,000,000 FACE VALUE in copper pennies. Yes, that is 1,666.66 TONS!"

....its all over realcent org I am not familiar with this site, and a quick look yielded nothing about Brink's removing copper. Is this just speculation by someone at this other forum? Is there a specific published link you can share with us? Copper is being mined from circulation, no question about it, but its by private individual with Ryedale sorters, not from Brinks themselves I'd bet. I'm having no problems at all finding copper on a consistent basis from my Brink boxes. |

Adam Youngs is the only one I can find in the news doing the copper sorting on a scale close the Million dollar range but even he only has around $270,000.00 face stored right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJHedJy4YJw |

Since I have gotten back into cent sorting a few months ago I have only picked up 4 Brinks boxes. They have all had a decent mix of copper so far.

Portland mint has to be doing way more than RealCenters....but there are still enough pennies to go around. http://realcent.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9826Thats the moderator and he's pretty credible. Alot of guys over there have noticed a hit in Brinks loads. My Strings are still hitting solid. Also henrysmedford is the guy that stared in the ABC coin hoarding story all over the web., has great posts and is quite an asset over there. Edited by Coppertop

Very interesting! Just knowing those machines are out there is troublesome.

Just picked up my first box of pennies yesterday on a whim while getting my nickels and there was A LOT of copper in it and quite a few wheat.
