question about zincs

[jasmatk]

just wondering when you guys think zincs will be worth face as of now only worth about 63% of fv but ive noticed the value slowly going up.

[HoardCopperByTheTon]

They are worth face now.. just not for their metalic content. I think we might likely see them achieve that level within the next year. Of course if zinc cents become "real cents" it means the value of the real "real cents" will be much higher than the current 2.5 cents.

I was talking about metal content was just wondering wether its worth saving some zincs or not.

[frugalcanuck]

I dont think it will be worth it unless they try and get rid of the penny. You could eaily go get alot of zincs whenever you feel like it. I was thinking about that here in Canada because they are talking about axing the penny. If that happens I might keep the zincs but not until that happens.
