I miss flicking them.

How are the value of pennies that are still around doing? Any market for them?

Wondering if I should take my 5gal water jug full of pennies in, or save em and sell em when I'm 70.

🤣

If you arrange them as a collection like one penny per year the sets sell for $100 each

Yep. Saving these then. Lol

Big thanks

Save 1981 and older pennies. Those are actually all copper. You might be able to get melt value for them.

NZ too. Coins change all the time actually. NZ dumped the 1c and 2c pieces in 1988-1990.

In 2004 all the coins changed since the metal was becoming worth more than the face value, and the 5c was dumped.

We now have: 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 and $2 coins.

Before 1967, NZ was using pounds with: halfpenny, penny, threepence, sixpence, shilling, florin, and halfcrown

Inflation slaughters the penny... Who's next?

Good shims

The nickel is next ☠️

Once upon a time we had the half penny.

The better move would have been to end monetary inflation; thus, allowing a naturally disinflationary economy. Make Pennies Great Again!
