Well I can't say I have that many pennies but I did keep them once they announced they were phasing them out, especially the ones with mainly copper, I also strip it from burned out electronic power cords, nothing hardcore tho. They did have a copper shortage in the USA during ww2. As a welder I see the value in nickel because of it's alloying qualities and more and more heavy industrial applications in oil refining require stainless steel and nickel alloys equipment so I keep the small change with the dates that used mainly nickel. I guess i'm an odd ball like that.

I think there's a few of us, also storing some base metals as well. I do have all the old wire and copper pipes that we removed from my house during renovations as well.
