Here's your life hack of the day:
There's a lot of copper swinging around in those Tesla charging stations. Please note that I am not recommending or suggesting or encouraging any of you break the law of the land nor this critical law: Thou shalt not steal. I'm just saying that if you drive a Tesla, you might pull into a non-functioning charging station someday when your last lithium fumes are wafting away.

CRH'ing cents and nickels is a hobby for me and a bit of a way to stack some metal other than silver or gold which, at this point, I would rather play the ETF versions (PSLV, GLD, etc) on than pay the physical premiums. I've about given up on dimes and half dollars CRH'ing. Luckily the few half dollars I buy from banks that are typically non-Ag I can readily spend at the grocery self-serve cash checkout lane.

At what point will copper prices get high enough that inevitably the black market will start taking in copper cents to melt? I know it is a federal crime and all that, but the risk/reward ratios for crime are all over the place for any larceny or property related criminal activity. This being government property apparently as far as the 1 cent coin goes might not mean jack if a criminal ring gets into it. I am being half-serious, but all the copper thefts and catalytic converter thefts still go on. Like those elaborate grifts to scam systems with inside information, I'd not be surprised if a long scheme is possible to take in the copper cents and melt them with regular scrap copper as long as they can cover their tracks. We should have a national registry of Ryedales for this now.

Good post Springer, but if you are worried about banks cutting us off, then buy rolls NOW!!!! Stop at every bank you see. Buy rolls even if you don't have time to open them. You will eventually have time.
