Saw a story on Yahoo about mining copper lincolns. They have a neat machine that does this. If you arent familiar with this, google it. Worth a look.
So I decided to try this by hand.
Went to the bank and got $20.00 in penny rolls (brinks clear shrink)
Took several hours to yield 6 wheats, 8 canadian, 1 dime, and about 600 <1982 cents. I am gonna hoard the copper and see what happens.
Traded the zincolns back for nickels. Pain in the butt to have to roll them back up, but my bank requires it.
Found a few older nickels. Nothing to mention.
When I get passed Christmas and have a few bucks, I am gonna go after some halves.
