I just realized I am up to 600 pounds of pennies. I would call my horde a better grade because I sort out the damaged and corroded pennies.

When I search a box of pennies I wrap up all the coppers in those cent rolls I just opened and store them in the 25 dollar cent boxes from the bank, that way I know how much is in it and they are sturdy boxes meant to hold them.

Until I found this place and started boxed roll hunting in 2013, I was just keeping change in a 5 gallon water jug (plastic) to sort at a later time. now that I have more than just a few pennies kept I have a box of 1970s in new rolls in one of the 12 boxes that I got of pennies last year. Works great as a door stop for my closet. Wheats are in cleaned medicine bottles (the orange prescription type) and those screw top coin tubes. My 2009 horde is in a few cleaned out Tums containers. 1982's (one have been sorted on composition yet) are in some kind of tube like thing that chips came in. Not the cardboard Pringles type, but a plastic one. I got lots more pennies I don't even know where are, I think they have been left alone for so long they are breeding, because I am always finding more just laying around on various furniture, in pockets. so I guess I keep them just about everywhere.

Oh, also any that I have that are NOT for keeping go back into the shotgun rolls they came from in the bank to buy lottery tickets with, since it requires cash, and they can not refuse any sort of cash payment for them. Coins are still money to spend so without a no-fee coin counter option I just spend ALL my leftover coins that are not to be kept.
