   55 gallon size drum of pennies? I'm surprised it didn't bust the sides out yet
   
   not as much as I thought it would be worth for 55 gallons but it's aprx $3,356.79 USD.

   Assuming they are copper pennies if they were melted down they would be worth roughly $12k

   isn't it only 2% copper now?
   
   Post 1982 or pre 1982?
   
   I didn't see this in the statement of his.
   
   based on AI weigh its over 5k so yeah, wow. lots
   
   

   Final Answer
   
   The total weight of pre-1982 pennies in a standard 55-gallon drum is approximately 1424.58 kg, and if melted down into pure copper, they would be worth approximately $5413.40.

   
   Elon wants to round everything off to dimes .
   
   he's going to try and get congress to rid pennys and nickles. I think its a good idea because nickels and penny's wont buy shit without a massive pocket full. parking meters give 1 minute

   Post 1982 it's calculations is
   
   

   Final Answer
   
   Based on these calculations: copper is significantly lighter than zinc
   
   The total weight of post-1982 pennies in a full drum would be approximately 208 kilograms, and if melted down into pure copper from those pennies, it would yield about $45.84 worth of copper.

   8000 pennies in a gallon, copper pennies have 2.95 grams of copper, and copper is $4.30/lb.

   I did start saving a lot of them but then thought "how the fuck will I melt them" so I stopped. But yeah I think -1982 there's money to be made.

    Ig everybody else felt the same way because copper pennies are all over. Unlike silver dimes and quarters.

    I think that's about what it was when I first had the idea to start doing that in 2011. I would have thought it would have gone up a little. You could have at least protected yourself from inflation though.

    I also learned even modern nickels were worth more in whatever metal they use than $.05 but I didn't know how you could separate everything.
    
    You could just have all your savings in nickels. It would be a lot harder to steal too.

    When you superheat all the coins, the different metals separate into layers, like sediment.
