Why do you sort pennies?

[Sheikh_yer_Bu'Tay]

I just moved 400 lbs from my bedroom, to my workshop (concrete floors). Then I asked myself the same question.

Make sure you put you cents in the spot where they should stay.

I thought maybe you were doing it to save on gym membership.

I thought he was moving Mrs. Thogey!

If I told you why I sort pennies then you would want to sort pennies, too. I don't want the competition!

I sort to pass the time. It gives me something to do while watching netflix.

[Numis Pam]

Because I have an addictive personality and pennies are cheaper than cocaine...

I sort pennies because I'm a cheapskate. If I can make a little money doing something I really enjoy then why not do it.I'm not really a hoarder - I would sell all my pennies at a decent profit and then just sort more. I sort by hand but would get a rydale if I thought it would pay for itself in a few months. I think it would but I would have to get my wife to agree with me.

Just run the numbers:

If the Ryedale you wanted cost $500, and you could clear $25/CTU, you'd need to sell 20 CTUs to make the machine pay for itself. With a copper percentage of 20%, you'd have to sort $10K face value before the machine turned a profit.

Great math, Engineer, but what about maintenance on the machine? I have forgotten, how many coins pass through the machine before you need to start replacing parts, like the sorting wheel?

Feed wheel should last 500k to a million coins. And they only run ten bucks.
