Sort of the same as coin roll hunting . If you take your most valuable asset
Which is time , not worth the effort !

Maybe, but for some, CRH is arguably more fun.

"How do you make one hundred dollars by coin roll hunting?
Start with two hundred dollars."

Agree w/JBuck, CRH'ing is about fun, and thrill of the hunt.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

I will say though, silver CRH finds in the early 1990s funded most of my Franklin half dollars.

I'm not as prolific at saving up copper pennies as you, obviously, but my grandpa told me back in '82 that I should hang onto them, so I've done so when I've thought of it. Even after the melt ban was adopted, I just did—maybe my silly way of honoring my grandpa. It'd be great if they lifted the melt ban. I'm sure there are lots of better uses for copper than handing it out in change or sitting on it.

Nothing wrong with that. Not at all.
