Unstruck, I was buying coffee at a burger king on the Maine turnpike about ten years ago. The kid behind the counter banged open a roll of pennies. Every one of them was a planchet. His comment "what the....." I ended up with three of them. In hind sight I shoud have insisted he give me all my change in pennies. Worth at one time about a dollar each....Gil

I've found several dimes mixed in with pennies. Other finds include 2 Panama cents, Swedish 50 Ore, Norwegian 50 Ore, Bahamian cent. I guess the strangest finds were 2 plastic play-pennies.

I think I know what scrapping pennies is. I beleive it is just melting them for their copper content. And yes I beleive it is against the law. One person earlier stated not selling them on ebay. Selling them is a lot different than melting them.
