main problem with hoarding nickels and pre-1982 copper pennies is
dang, those mason jars and coffee cans get heavy.
thanks for posting this. I was there when all that johnson/vietnam crap happened.
i lost friends and high school buds to that horrible war. I attended protests.
i am ex-101st airborne that missed going to s.e. asia by two weeks
due to knee injuries from jump school. that whole time period
was unimaginably stressful by today's standard.
it still turns my stomach to think about the lives lost for nothing;
the wasted resources; the gubmint lies and obfuscation; the enviromental damage.
and don't get me started on agent orange. or the all too likely notion
that history is about to repeat itself in the worst way possible.
