Well? Is it worth more than a regular penny?

>>89411365
I don't know how much value Copper is per pound but I feel safe in saying yes

It's paradoxically worth more and less, as it's worthless as legal tender unlike actual pennies but probably valuable purely because of the fact it's a shit ton of copper.

Yes, but it's worth less than its weight in pennies.

i dunno it's a shit ton of copper

>>89411365
Worth less, because no one wants to keep it in a cash register, nor does anyone want to smelt and deface currency. Then again you could probably sell it on eBay for a couple hundred dollars.

Of course it's worth more - it's been in Batman's (yes, THE Batman) cave for years.
Collectors will pay a high price for stuff like that.

>>89411415
actually... pennies are technically worthless to begin with these days. The materials and manufacturing costs equates to more than the value of the money printed.

Pennies are worse than worthless, it's like you're carrying a physical manifestation of debt.

Canada stopped making pennies for that very reason.

Remind me again why I stay in this shit hole?

>>89411620
Also pennies today are made of zinc and pot-metals, so the are worthless for recycling purposes.
There are people sitting around with garages full of copper pennies waiting for them to be pulled from legal currency so they can make dosh.
A copper penny is worth several times a penny in copper. So they buy shit tons of pennies, sort the copper ones with machines, and trade back in the non-copper ones.

>>89411620
Today they're worthless but before 1982, pennies were made of 95% copper. The Giant Penny weighs 216 pounds, so from just the 205.2 pounds of copper in it, it's worth about 550 dollars.

Because despite It's many flaws, It's still the best country in the world. Not to mention arguably the only real 1st world country. Feel free to move to some 3rd world shithole though, you fucking libtard. Take a camera with you so I can watch a livestream of you trying to survive in a country without countless safety nets.

That's the only known weight listed. Take it up with Devin Grayson if you don't like it.

>>89412321
Why the fuck would you? Unless your in some shitty Democrat ruled city/state than I understand.

>>89411983
because the shitholes out there are ten-thousand times worse.

Mexico is decent only if you're rich. Otherwise you're a trash farmer at best. Illegal immigration, let's be honest, is Mexico funneling their outright poor and destitute refugees of drug cartel wars.

The only reason why we seem shitty is because we're actually talking about our problems. The rest of the world sweeps it under the rug.

I mean we're not great by any means.

DC is full of asshats who think that Lead weighs more than Gold or Platinum (or even Mercury), and that Mercury is fucking red.

These were the guys doodling instead of paying attention in grade school.

goods are cheaper then any other 1st world country
also imports and exports are not bogged down with draconian taxing like The other 3 English speaking 1st world counties.

>>89412485
>goods are cheaper then any other 1st world country
In America? You haven't compared Broadband, Cell service or Pharmaceuticals then. Or are you just talking about milk? Yeah the milk sure is a bit cheaper here.

Meanwhile you pay triple for medication over Canada, which is hilarious given that the drugs were originally made IN the United States.

>A giant fucking metal disc
>Weighing barely more than me

That's the dumbes thing I've heard all day. Has that guy ever heard of a fucking manhole cover? Those things are a fraction of the size, a third as wide and weigh half as much as that thing.

>>89411365
Its over a thousand pounds for sure.

It's also more of we are the last super power.
When an entire country exited the European Union the world went on as usual.
When a business celebrity won the presidency of the US the entire world economy shook hours later.
It's not that we are talking about our issues and others are sweeping theirs under. It's that we actually hold the other first world nations by the balls. We suffer? They all suffer. We succeed? They might succeed. It's why as a country other nations hate the US.

>>89412485
Everything but gas is significantly cheaper here than in the US. Food is tremendously cheaper and of ludicrously higher quality, to a point that I could never imagine eating the shit you americans put up with. Most other goods are cheaper and production is better controlled.
Gas is significantly more expensive and that fucking sucks, but I'll take better food and cheaper everything on top of a working healthcare system any day of the week over paying less for gas.

>>89411983
You're welcome in Canada, finding a job might be hard though.

Pennies are zinc.

Did you learn that from this educational film?

>>89413475
>Pennies are zinc.

Ummm, Actually that only applies to pennies made after 1962, before they were 95 % copper.

So to answer >>89411365

Yes, 216 lbs with copper at roughly 2.00 a pounds it is worth 432 dollars give or take market pricing.

Canada is the country of middle road patriotism. We're proud of how lukewarm we are. That's why I was so sad when this man had to go. He was our mascot.
