I plan to make book on how many replies are posted before one of the more pedantic forumites chimes in with "you mustn't call them pennies, they're cents". I figure the over/under is about 15.

"A cent for your thoughts" just doesn't have the same ring as "A penny for your thoughts".😀

$60.50 rolled up and taken to the bank. A true mishmash of stuff from the 40s to BU memorials with a few cull IHCs in there. Nope. Won’t miss any of it.
I took $350 dollars in zinc Lincolns that had been searched and rerolled to my grocery store, as the manager told me she had a problem and could not get cents, so could not open the regular check out, only the self check out with credit/debit cards. She gave me cash and a 2% off shopping coupon. I have another 70 rolls to drop off when I shop on Saturday to keep them going.
I removed the dreck while separating by decade and mint. Kept the 1909-39's and the nicest later dates. Everything else was turned in at my local trading post.

Check for wheaties and some of the more major (Redbook price is at least $10 in VF-20 grade) errors and varieties. 1970S, Sm Dt (High 7) is a $50 coin. It's a mistake not to look for it. That's just one example.1969S DblDie Obv found? That's a five figure coin. PCGS price guide says about 100 known.
Einstein’s view of God was non-traditional and pantheistic, focusing on the harmony, order, and intelligibility of the cosmos rather than a personal deity. His quotes reveal a profound respect for the universe’s mysteries, a belief in rational laws, and a moral philosophy grounded in compassion and understanding, bridging science and spirituality.

I have kept a tin of copper cents I’ve found in change or otherwise all these years. Pretty much any date from 1909 to 1982 are in there. I figure I’ll just keep doing that although I may have reached the end of it. It’ll probably sit there until the time comes that no one cares if I melt them down and sell as bullion or I pass on and someone else does it.
I have roughly 39#'s unsorted/searched cents in 2 containers. Certainly not going to roll them, so one day it will be coinstar. Oops another small 5# container.

Nothing.
I'm separating the wheat from the chaff , the zinc from the bronze, and I'm gonna melt the latter into cool art pieces.
I may have a peek to make sure no 1972 DDOs fall in the melting pot though
It's all about what the people want...

No. Only the melt value.

CoinStar for everything under a quarter.
What's wrong with quarters in the CoinStar?

CoinStar for everything, just dump it in. Thanks for the reminder.

@ jmlanzaf quarters are easy to use.
There really aren't any. The only pennies I have around the house are the ones I recycle through my gumball machine.

Tough call, have perhaps $1.50 maybe $2. Should I sell now or wait to be a millionaire, decisions decisions.

I haven't seen a CoinStar in years. I've rolled mine and brought them to the bank.
