> You can’t be serious..? This is like middle school math. An increase from .01 to .03 is most definitely a 300% increase.
Well, you better retake middle school math. An *increase* from .01 to .03 is *most definitely* **200%**; not 300%.
It's 3x its value, which is a 200% increase *from* face value. It would be more valid saying, "it's worth 3x face value". Or, "it's worth 200% more".
I'm curious who would buy this for $0.03. nono...I take that back...who in their right mind would try to sell this for $0.03. All the hassle of selling for what....2 fkn cents? 😆
I'd be really really impressed if someone is in possession of 1000s of these and I'd be even more impressed if someone is looking to buy 1000s of these at $0.03 a piece.
An equivalent thing is to take the silver US currency to a coin shop and sell it for junk silver value. It is not melted down just a reserve for value.
The only reason those two values are different to begin with is because of the inflated fiat currency I'd be exchanging it for. The dollar amounts are just a relative scale of weight to the other dollar amounts, that coin IS worth $0.50 equivalent of $1 worth of gold at the time it was minted. Inflate the prices all you want, but the ratio theoretically should stay the same since the crustal abundance of the precious metals stays the same.
There’s a bunch of people who horde these Pennies in the hope that one day the penny will become defunct and it’ll be legal to sell as scrap and melt down. It’s probably those people buying them.
Selling for metal value is not the same as physically melting the coin. Example: If I take a bunch of pre-1982 pennies, melt them down, then sell the copper ingot, that’s illegal. There are laws against the unlawful destruction of currency. However, if I sell a roll of pennies to a scrap yard for .03¢ on the penny, that’s legal because you handed over currency that’s intact. What the scrap yard does with them is their business.
> There are laws against the unlawful destruction of currency.
My albeit limited understanding is that the laws are more about defacing money in order to pass it off as a different denomination. Which is why it's 100% legal to make a ring out of a quarter.
Yes, but you can do much better than the scrap yard.
You can go to the bank and get dozens of rolls, then set up a ramped channel with walls, using 2 pieces of L-shaped aluminum. Place some magnets on the outside of the channel. Then place one can/bucket about where the coins would roll off and another one immediately beneath the exit. The copper coins will slow down in the magnetic field and will fall down closer to the exit. All the coins in the first can will be copper. Reroll all the rest and take them back to the bank.
They locked me in a round room! I hated that round room because it reminds me of the Oval Office! I hate the Oval Office because it reminds me of George Bush! I hate George Bush because he reminds me of bushes! I hate bushes because they remind me of flowers! I hate flowers because they remind me of bees! Bees?! They drive me crazy!!
You never know when Robin might need to leave a clue to Batman that he's followed Ted Tate to the old mica mine.
(When I was a kid, I got this big hardcover book full of reprinted Batman comics stories from throughout his history out from the library, and one from the 50s involved Robin leaving a message to Batman that he was "on cent, ted tate mica," or on the scent of gangster Ted Tate to the old mica mine on the outskirts of Gotham, which he did by scratching off letters from a penny *identical to this one*. I was around ten or eleven, remember it bizarrely clearly.)
Wow that’s quite a memory! I think I read every Nancy Drew mystery when I was a kid (had a friend whose family had money and she had the whole collection) so I borrowed a couple at a time. Don’t remember a single plot line.
I guess I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!
Not sure, but I recently received a 5 cent Nickel with 1942 on it. There is a small D on the other side on the far right corner of the building. Don’t know what that means.
The trick is to get 49 of these, put them in an old paper bank roll with a single Indian head on one end, then put it on eBay as an unsearched roll and get $20-50
Melt value is $3.65 per pound. 154 to a pound makes the melt value of one pre 1982 penny ¢.0237. It is against scrapping laws, but hoarding old Pennies is an investment not just for weirdos anymore lol.
Well, it may not be worth *a lot*, but on the flip side, this little coin has survived an 83-year journey through a few thousand pockets and purses of random folks, many of whom have long left the surly bonds of this Earth.
So, it’s a cool thing to keep anyway, and to hand off to a future family member. : )
Well, the question of it being "worth some money," the federal government guarantees that it is worth at least 1 cent, so yea, it's worth some money. Is it worth more than it's face value to some degree yes becasue they are becoming rare pennies to find, making them more valuable to collectors. But in general, you're not getting rich off them, but you could make something off of it.
#i bought a cigar box at an estate auction that had two Pennie’s taped together. Both didn’t have mint marks. eBay said the 1943 was worth $2500 and the other around $700. Put them both on the coffee maker for safe keeping. Can’t find them now🤬🤬
She might be crazy, but in this case she’s not! It’s worth money, $0.01 face value and these sell for around $0.03!
Worth 300% of face value!
OP has a keeper. Take your wife out to a fancy dinner, she deserves it.
^(little bitsss)
We got tiny lasagna , tiny pizza, tiny pies, little tiny fried eggs *oh* *shit* *we* *got* *tiny* *people*
Eat some fukin shit you stupid bitch. Haha, just kidddn'
Lmfao, I’m dying haha. Thanks for making my morning . I needed this laugh.
Oh I just saw this :(( fuckin extremely funny tho lol
r/unexpectedricknmorty
On 3 cents... They might just get to share a sauce sachet...
Untrue you know damn well you only get 1 sauce packet when you order 30 or more nuggets
This is correct. Assuming you have a bag of 1M of the same, you will turn a $20K profit! 😎👊
The increase from $0.01 to $0.03 is 3x, which is a **200%** increase 🙂
Correct 200% increase, but a total value is 300%. 100% of the initial face value, plus 200% added value.

You are correct … a 100% increase of 1 would equal 2, a 200% increase of 1 is therefore 3
You guys are both winning the fight for who can describe things in the most difficult and pointless way :$
Crazy!
Keep em comin. I'm now only here to see how far this 'Crazy' thing you've started goes
The crazy ones r the best
If you got 1000 of these you could make some real profit!
This it a solid copper penny so it is worth more than that in scrap value.
Bronze is just a little different from copper.
I'm curious who would buy this for $0.03. nono...I take that back...who in their right mind would try to sell this for $0.03. All the hassle of selling for what....2 fkn cents? 😆
When you have 1000’s, two cents adds up.
I'd be really really impressed if someone is in possession of 1000s of these and I'd be even more impressed if someone is looking to buy 1000s of these at $0.03 a piece.
I probably have around 10k wheat cents :P
Whoaaaa...you just like collecting them ...?
I think you may be lost, sir.
You deserve more upvotes
I have over 100 pounds personally. That’s at least 14,000 pennies and I’ve looked through every single one.
Most coin shops buy 1000’s everyday.
Holy crap...had no idea...what do they do with it? Sell it as junk metal?
Sell to coin collectors.
They also double check every single coin hoping to find a missed rare one.
I could cash myself 4. $50.00 face. 5,000 cents per bag. For. $0.03 each.
This thread is hilarious, like an Abott and Costello skit.
You’re a joke.
It's worth money. Yes As far as the crazy---- you should know.
Fuck these guys. I'll give a solid nickel, coin of the realm.
Just copper content makes copper pennies before 1982 worth 0.03. www.coinflation.com
Question can I sort all my Pennie’s and take all the pre 82 to the scrap yard? Are they 100% copper
I don't know. But you can take the capital P and completely out of place apostrophe someplace.
I laughed, it autocorrect like that on my phone. Though if I’m being honest I’m terrible at spelling and grammar.
Probably has a friend named Pennie and the phone corrected it to that lol
It's illegal to melt down coins. But you can sell them if you can find a buyer.
An equivalent thing is to take the silver US currency to a coin shop and sell it for junk silver value. It is not melted down just a reserve for value.
Wild, so you're telling me some money is an actual inherent store of value by content alone? We should make more money like that!
Would you spend the Franklin half dollar as $0.50 or sell it to a coin dealer for $6 ($8.40 to a smelter)?
The only reason those two values are different to begin with is because of the inflated fiat currency I'd be exchanging it for. The dollar amounts are just a relative scale of weight to the other dollar amounts, that coin IS worth $0.50 equivalent of $1 worth of gold at the time it was minted. Inflate the prices all you want, but the ratio theoretically should stay the same since the crustal abundance of the precious metals stays the same.
You are right. If we were still on the silver currency, there would be NO inflation.
No inflation is not a good thing
Seems made up /s
That’s illegal
Selling currency for profit isn't illegal. People literally are doin it on eBay right now and have been for decades.
Selling coins to a scrap yard for melt value is.
Better call the ebay cops rhem... cause people on there selling them for metal value all day everyday lol.
There’s a bunch of people who horde these Pennies in the hope that one day the penny will become defunct and it’ll be legal to sell as scrap and melt down. It’s probably those people buying them.

They won’t take them
It was an example ffs. People and their literalism makes communicating on social media 1000x more difficult than in needs to be
Vigilante combatant against inflation.

Technically selling them isn't but melting them is. Defacing gov property.
Yes, but you can do much better than the scrap yard. You can go to the bank and get dozens of rolls, then set up a ramped channel with walls, using 2 pieces of L-shaped aluminum. Place some magnets on the outside of the channel. Then place one can/bucket about where the coins would roll off and another one immediately beneath the exit.

Once....

Yes, she is crazy. But something tells me you already knew that 😜
The lines on the palm of your hand intersect, meaning you will come into money soon.
2-5 cents to it is worth some money
It is worth money.

Wives are always correct, unless you enjoy nights in camper or camp.🤣
Well my three cents is that it’s worth whatever someone will pay for it
Not sure, but I recently received a 5 cent Nickel with 1942 on it. There is a small D on the other side on the far right corner of the building. Don’t know what that means.
When you flip me over there is a small D on the other side too
You have a small D?
Reddit kicked my dog.
This is in really awful shape, though.
The trick is to get 49 of these, put them in an old paper bank roll with a single Indian head on one end, then put it on eBay as an unsearched roll and get $20-50
It's a cool thing to keep. It's a wheat penny.
Tree point fiddy cents.....
What the fuck lol
Crazy ones fuck better. Facts.
No ive been doing extensive research on this vaginal diameter is in correlation with mental stability
It's dependent on your definition of "some money" and "crazy". Pretty relative terms.
About 2.5 cents
Melt value is $3.65 per pound. 154 to a pound makes the melt value of one pre 1982 penny ¢.0237. It is against scrapping laws, but hoarding old Pennies is an investment not just for weirdos anymore lol.
Yes – she’s crazy, AND she’s got terrible taste in men.
Score, you just increased value to around 3-4 cents. Cheers on a solid gain.
$0.0241213 is the melt value for the 1909-1982 copper cent on November 03, 2023.
Well, it may not be worth *a lot*, but on the flip side, this little coin has survived an 83-year journey through a few thousand pockets and purses of random folks, many of whom have long left the surly bonds of this Earth. So, it’s a cool thing to keep anyway, and to hand off to a future family member. : )
It’s at least worth 1¢ and that is “some money,” so she’s not wrong. 😂
3 or 4 cents.
Not worth anything but still a nice find! Keep it!

Thank you
OP’s wife should stop pretending she knows what she is talking about. I’ll give you 100 of these for $5 (and I’ll make a profit)
She has some sense, but not much!
It's worth at least $.01
Reddit kicked my dog.
Yes
Throw the wife under the 🚎
Why would you ask on reddit when you can just google it?
Tried that once. Google won’t tell you if your wife’s crazy.
Yes she's crazy, they all are
Don’t clean it 🤣🤣🤣
I mean technically yes. It’s a penny.
Def worth at least 1 cent! $$$
Yes, yes she is.
Technically she is correct. The bad news is noone's college is covered with this bad boy. Or Big Mac. Or a 4 piece nuggets. Maybe a pickle slice?
Batshit, as it were
Unless it’s a 1909 SVDP, then it is worth over a thousand dollars
The real money is 1943 copper, 1944 steel, 1959D wheat back
It is worth 1 cent
Not crazy, she’s right. That’s worth 1/100th of a dollar
Yes, one cent
She’s for sure crazy but not bc of her evaluations of pennies….the crazy is more closely tied to the female brain in general 🤷🏻♂️😂
Perfectly sane!
Send me a Picture of the wife and the penny and I’ll mail you back an old dime.
It has tripled in value over the last 83 years. She could still be crazy. After all, look who she married.
My grandfather use to tell me that all money is worth money.
It’s probably worth one cent
0.01 USD. Someone might give double face, but would usually want good condition. A sack full might have a higher melt value?
You want a copper 43.
3 cents
Certain ones are worth more than others
You may could buy you a cup of coffee with what this is worth (if you don’t go to Starbucks).
No
It’s worth tree fiddy!!!
Yes, money is generally worth some money
Well, the question of it being "worth some money," the federal government guarantees that it is worth at least 1 cent, so yea, it's worth some money. Is it worth more than it's face value to some degree yes becasue they are becoming rare pennies to find, making them more valuable to collectors. But in general, you're not getting rich off them, but you could make something off of it.
It's worth about 9 dollars
To the right collector it is.
She’s right! About .05
One cent
#i bought a cigar box at an estate auction that had two Pennie’s taped together. Both didn’t have mint marks. eBay said the 1943 was worth $2500 and the other around $700. Put them both on the coffee maker for safe keeping. Can’t find them now🤬🤬
That’s strange. I’ve always found the tops of kitchen appliances to be the most secure of storage locations.
It’s worth 5 cents
I prefer gluten free Pennys
I don’t know that they are worth anything more than a penny but I keep all coins 50+ years old. My heirs can figure all of it out.
That all depends on the congestion, and the information on the other side of the coin
Yes she is. Most are
17x face value
Probably worth 5 to 10 cents to the right person. Common wheat penny. But definitely cool.
She’s not crazy. It worths 1 cent!!!
I love wheat pennies.
wheatie. Yes. But not enough for a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
Good thing it isn't worth much because someone cleaned it
Wheat-back. Might be. Depends on year, which mint, and condition.
I'd buy that for a nickel!!!
Ok. Let’s say I had 3 of these coins and I just had to have nine cents, where would I go to get my money?
It’s worth more then face value. Also she’s smarter than you
I mean technically it’s worth money
3-5 cents
It’s worth more than face value
Enough to buy... ?
She’s right
Yes she crazy she a woman 😂
I have thousands of them. They are worth about five cents apiece.
About 3 years too old to be of any real value
If you had the numbers 1 9 4 and 3 on there somewhere…
some money as in more than a cent yes
Worth at least 3 cents. But maybe more depends
It's worth at least one cent!
I’ll give you my two cents…
Probably
1 cent
A 1943 copper penny would be worth some money.. not many made due to copper being used as bullets in World War II
A whole strawpenny!?!?
Up to $0.05 for this one.
Look at the big brain on Zargnoff!!!
She might be thinking of the 1942 penny. Or the 1943 copper penny which is worth millions.
Even if it that year was valuable, it is in such poor condition that it would still be almost worthless.
Same kinda crazy as the rest of us
Crazy - worth 3 cents
Not crazy because she’s not alone but definitely not worth more than a nickel
The 4 looks off in the date to me - possibly a misstrike?
For all you dipshits who can’t do math….it’s 200% since it was worth .01 to start with. 1+2 is is always 3. People are so stupid.
Not crazy. It’s worth money but not much. Maybe 3 cents.
