    Pennies from after 1982 are mostly made of zinc.

    You get about 117$ for 10,000 pennies. However you need to pay for gas and the bank will tell on yoou the third time yoou bulk withdraw pennies.

    I think they're zinc and magnesium with maybe 2 percent copper. trust me, people would be on that like white on rice

    I found a barrel head {D}enver penny once. I think it was minted in the 40s. I handed it to a co-worker and said he could have it because I don't collect them but I knew it had to be special minted because it looked weird. it was a deep barrel (Heads side) which is why they call it that I guess. looked it up, said worth about 116 bucks or something
