Sad story of a penny sorter

Postby texcollex » Sat Jul 15, 2023 9:49 am

I was watching this https://youtu.be/rT_4J5eftgc
YouTube video and around the 17:00 minute mark wanted to yell at the screen, "Don't dump those in there!" The guy obviously didn't realize he had stumbled across the poor deceased penny sorters stash. He callously dumped what appeared to be copper cents into a big bin of newer cents. The guy appeared to have been sorting nickels, as well. Another reminder to involve our families in our hobby.

Edit: OH, good grief. I just watched what he found next.

These appeared to be Canadian coins. I wonder which province he was in…
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

Yes, he is in Canada, but I don't recall if he's mentioned his province on his videos.

He’s from Edmonton Alberta.

As the smart people gradually perish , the "other" people will gradually repopulate the banks and stores with copper, wheats, silver and old nickels unless we become a cashless society which I hope we don't. The "other" people are the brainwashed, dumbed down people who know little to nothing about stuff that's actually important. Without seeing the video, I'm guessing that's exactly what this "dumper" is. These morons might benefit us in terms of our coining interests; however, their ideology and behavior will ultimately be the destruction of our country and society in general.

Bingo. This in a nutshell. I've noticed that the majority of younglings today don't seem to give 2 sheets about coins and/or most boomer and Gen Z hobbies. These kids today have been brainwashed into believing digital nothings are a store of value. How sad.
