i just finished rolling my 120th roll of copper cents. I have two empty egg cartons, and have each space labeled. The first space is 'Wheat', then it's 1959 through 1981. It happens when one 'egg space' comfortably holds around 60 cents. Then I put them in a roll and label the date. When I have a few rolls of a given date, I go through looking for DD's, RPM's, errors, the whole nine yards. Then I put the rejects back in their rolls and put them in a box that I will eventually sell for melt. Not that they will be melted, I bet they are just hanging around in people's garages/attics waiting for the economy and society to collapse. I'd rather get my 60% profit now and invest it. I do believe that more and more people will be hoarding these copper coins, but there is no way that the supply of people who hoard will be greater than the people willing to spend the time to sort coins from the bank, at least in the next 10 years, or until the melting ban is lifted (I'm not holding my breath on that one either). And besides, Canadian pennies basically have as much copper as ours had until 1982 until 1998 or something like that. Billions out there.
