Do you all vacuum up pennies, or do you all think those things are coming back in value?

Pre 1982 pennies have 2.5c of copper (vs 0.7c of zinc in modern pennies) but it's not worth sorting through change unless you have a massive volume and a weighing machine to sort them for you
I consider all the counterfeit coins trash - quarters, pennies, dimes, half dollar, dollar are all base tokens and even then they have a cheaper core that's plated or sandwiched by a shinier/ more valuable material. Only good for spending as currency, just like paper fiat
Nickels are 75% copper 25% nickel solid alloy and are worth over 6c, so if/when gold & silver availability dries up you might still be able to withdraw nickels and come out OK, at least for small balances. Should be good for barter, albeit bulky
