What is a CTU?

I see "CTU" going around here sometimes. Correct me if I'm wrong but is that mean Copper trade unit? And as a follow up, does Copper Trade Unit mean $100 face value? Or 68 total lbs (or 64.6 lbs copper)?

Thanks.

hmmm, ya learn something every day. I've seen the term bandied about here and there (mostly here!), but I thought a Copper Trade Unit was a fancy-dancy way of saying a single copper penny.

CTU = Cents to Use.

68 pounds for the coins and a little over a pound for packing material. Shipment on Friday tipped the scales at 69 lbs, 2.2 ounces. :mrgreen:
