I went to my local pickup bank this morning, and picked up my usual 4 brinks boxes. I get home a weight them, and they weight 14.2 lbs each!! I opened them up, and all new 2012s. only 6 non-2012 pennies out of 10000.

St.Louis and only 1 bank....a what....you should have unlimited bank/credit union opportunities. You are in/near a mid/major city. Been there....try across the river into Illinois.....or keep getting zinc boxes.

Been to few Cardinal games and stay in Illinois across the river....my hobby has me looking for banks wherever I go.

All I can say is WOW.....but you may have to expand your definition of "near". Soon you will tire of not finding copper. It's a slow process. I'm just trying to point you into an easier way of doing things.
