Why not just stick with a bag of pennies? I know it's not as sexy and all...but just sayin'.
You answered your own question...a bag of pennies isn't nearly as sexy as a polished poured bar of .999 copper
I never claimed that my bars are better than pennies, nor have I even described them as an investment. I guess you could call them something like "artisan bullion." Something unique and novel, nice heft in your hand, conversation piece, etc. Think of it as a garnish for the rest of your stack
