BEST PENNY PINCHER

In an armored-car facility on the industrial prairie that is Swan Island, there is a windowless concrete room. Harsh fluorescent light bears down on visitors. The clang of metal on metal drowns out any chance of conversation. Spend enough time in here, and your skin grows coated with grime. Adam Youngs calls these 12,000 square feet “my little heaven.”

Youngs—a 26-year-old with a baby face, closely cropped blond hair, a high-school diploma and an accent that belies his central Iowa upbringing—is a copper speculator. He prefers to call himself an entrepreneur, and as the founder of the Portland Mint, he’s indeed a big fish in a niche market. Youngs buys up pennies in bulk, which he runs through sorting machines—they’re responsible for most of that clatter and clang—that separate the coins into those made before 1982 and those made after. Unlike modern pennies, which are mostly zinc, pre-1982 coins are 95 percent copper—which means they’re worth about double their face value.

Youngs then sells these pre-1982 pennies to his investors—he says he has about 10,000—who range from survivalist types to folks concerned about stock-market volatility to one guy who lives on a $16 million yacht. These investors buy 1,000 pennies for $186, or you can spring for a ton (yes, 2,000 pounds, in a sturdy polyester duffel bag) for $4,959.

But there’s a catch with copper investment: It’s illegal to melt active currency. That means these penny hoarders are banking on the day the U.S. makes the penny obsolete. Canada stopped distributing pennies last year, and Youngs hopes America will eventually wise up too. Until then, he’ll keep sorting these cents—on any given day, the face value of the pennies at the Portland Mint is about $300,000—and packing them into those 2,000-pound bags. “You can easily fit 2,000 pounds under your bed,” Youngs says.

And for those who doubt the wisdom of storing your savings where you sleep, remember this: 2,000 pounds of pennies are also pretty hard to steal. REBECCA JACOBSON.

Copper Catcher wrote:His personality is so magnetic that he is unable to carry credit cards.
Even his enemy’s list him as their emergency contact number
He never say’s something taste like chicken, not even chicken
People hang on his every word, even the prepositions
He could disarm you with his looks or his hands, either way
He can speak French in Russian
His charm is so contagious that vaccines have been created for it
Year ago he build a city out of blocks, today more than 600,000 people live and work there
He is the only man to ever ace a Rorschach test
Every time he goes for a swim, dolphins appear
Alien abductors have ask him to probe them
If he would give you directions you would never get lost and arrive five minute early
His legend proceeds him the way lighting proceeds thunder

He is: Adam Youngs; The most interesting man on RealCent!
