fur_coin_talk Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 06/21/2011 1:09 pm Trade them. I trade my Canadian, Euro and Pound for silver or for other coins that I like. You can always sell them on ebay for face value if you accumulate enough. If the dollar (ever) goes back up in value- you can make some money on them and sell them for above face- Only really makes sense if you have 20 bucks or more in coinage. Also, if you (or someone you know) is planning on taking a trip to the US bring them with you to spend. Report this Post to the Staff
wistro New Member Canada 6 Posts	Posted 06/21/2011 6:30 pm thanks for the response, however, I'm referring to the large volume of zincs that need to be returned to "the bank" or wherever in very large volume (40-50 boxes at a time) Getting rid of the actual copper pennies is the easy part of the hobby.....

I actually use them for the zinc plating bath, it's easy to get the zinc out into solution and leave the copper shells. Report this Post to the Staff
