You can take my $2000 / wk off the list, I am quitting, my last week was last week. Am having too many problems dumping the zinc and halves are yielding better.

I have to do the same but for a different reason....no more pennies in Canada.

my 25 dollars a week has dropped to about 5 due to lack of funding

i shall sort on and pick up whatever i can when i can

kinda feels like im letting the copper gods down so..

ill let u know ( for the thread )when i pick the pace back up

My personal 2013 total, including today's pickup, is $1,631. That comes to an average of $25.48 per day or $178.39 per week. So I think I'm staying ahead of what I said earlier, which I believe was $150/wk.

[mtalbot_ca]

You are right, and thanks to you we are at 80,600lbs...

Excluding the occasional week off, I am sorting 20-30 dollars a week (40-60 rolls)

Hand sorted

P S. I also sort nickels and half dollars. Once in a blue moon I will even sort a few rolls of quarters. But that is very infrequent. Moving forward, I expect pennies to be the main player over the next few years. After that who knows.

Neat old thread that I have never seen before (or forgotten about). Its interesting to see how the percentages have changed.

I don't know what his total was, but Adam via Portland Mint regularly shipped out semi trailers of copper cents to large customers; his operation dwarfed the entire RC by many multiples.

Has that come to an end or is this still going on?
