Did you know? 👀
A pre-1982 U.S. penny was made of real copper.
With copper now near $6.10/lb, each one is worth $0.04 today.
That’s 4x its face value…
from a coin people still throw away.
Here’s how the math scales ⬇️
Each penny contains 0.00651 lb of copper.
That means every $1 move in copper ≈ +0.65¢ per penny
Now watch this 👇
• $4¢ penny → $6.10/lb (today)
• $5¢ penny → $7.68/lb
• $6¢ penny → $9.21/lb
• $7¢ penny → $10.75/lb
• $8¢ penny → $12.29/lb
• $9¢ penny → $13.82/lb
• $10¢ penny → $15.35/lb
That’s a 10x face value penny.
They stopped making these for a reason.
The metal keeps rising… the coin stays the same.
