Got a call from a guy, told me he had 10-20 pounds of copper pennies and was wondering if we buy them.
He said, he could go to the bank and exchange them for quarters (larger change) but said he knew the price of copper was up and felt he could get more by recycling them rather than cashing them in.
Of coarse I told him no, warned him he might be subject to arrest and large fines if he tries to scrap (destroy) US currency.
That was a first for me, never had anybody ask if we pay cash for the scrap value of pennies.
I thought this was a bizarre and interesting inquiry so I figured I'd share it.
