The prodigal penny returns

[GGerrands]

A few months ago I marked a bunch of the zincolns I sent back with a strip from a sharpie on their reverse. Pretty sure I just got one of them back in a customer wrapped roll from my credit union.

But it's ok. He's welcome at my house, because he brought a few of his older, heavier friends along in the roll with him.

I always thought of marking the rolls but never thought the penny itself.

Smart idea! Now you know you have to dump a little farther away from town..lol

Now you know why your copper percentages are dropping.

how did you mark them?
would be interesting to see if any of the others here get one of the marked pennies!

In a pretty generic way, a swipe of a sharpie over the memorial from the "t" in states to the "c" in cent. I only did about 200 before I quit, but I put them in random return rolls, not all in 4 rolls of coin.
