Who Is Hoarding?

1982. Both copper and zinc cents were made in 1982 though.

Hi Monster - in your example you can make 2 cents per penny. In my book that is a 200% increase in your money. If you put one cent in a bank how long will it take to even DOUBLE?

I save pennies and right now have several hundred rolls of copper. I have 500 or so rolls of wheaties that I don't count. But as copper prices rise so will those.

200% profit is really great. But the effert you need to put in is more than 2 cents. I world rather focus my effert to something else, said 20% profit but 200 dollar. Just a thought.

I get one of my paychecks cashed every other month in coins.
So yeah, I hoard everything :)

Yep, I'm ready for a healtheir diet! And, I've always wanted to learn Chinese; she doesn't speak English. I hoard many other things, too. Is that a trait of coin collectors?

I've made this statement many times now. People that hoard just anyh old coins are wasting their time. I too once hoarded quarters and mostly those stupid Bicentennial ones. After man years I found they were worth a quarter each so to the bank with thosands of dollars that could have been accumulating interest. But that is not what is in the future. I predict that in the near future coins and most currency will vanish from the face of the planet. As coutries continue to do trading at an ever faster pace the monetary system of the world will have to be united. Europe is starting but that is only the beginning. Electronic monitary systems will be the only way of the future. Machines will automatically convert any price anywhere on Earth and items will be bought and sold electronically. The monitary system, your coins, will be in museums. Hoarding them will be useless since coin collecting will slowly subside due to no new issues of coins. This may sound like a far, far distant future but look around now. Gas stations, grocery stores, general stores, hotels, motels, etc all are going electronic. You can't even rent a car without a piece of plastic. Even now many people do not carry money so what do you think the future will hold for our coins?

just carl I really hope your wrong lol that would suck but coins wont dissappear because not everyone collects new issues the older ones are real hott and they wont just dissappear...

i personally hoard silver. cant afford gold lol. I think if you hoard enough pennies tho you will definitely come out on top.
