Banks Taking Out Copper Coins From Circulation?

There's this ONE very OCD guy...

I can assure you we are NOT pulling the copper pennies, other than when my wife has asked me to get some for pressed penny machines when we go on vacation. Aside from that, no time, desire, or point in doing so.

Now silver on the other hand.....

You are most likely getting someone else's dump. We do have people who are penny searchers and bring us their rejects, though we have significantly cut down on allowing people to do this.

If copper memorials are being hoarded at a substantial rate in the country , it won't be long before the sort after Wheat cent meets the same criteria as finding silver in bank rolls .

Yeah, sounds like someone's dump for sure. There's hunters out there who actively hoard copper memorials the same way they do with wheats or anything silver, so the reality is you're just an unlucky victim of someone else's hunt.

Now for comparison's sake I like to put my coppers aside when hunting, but I'm not one to hoard, not worth it yet, and won't be for a long long while.
