This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

$100 in coins is way more valuable than bills. $100 in pennies is worth about $280 in scrap copper these days

However, you're not legally allowed to smelt pennies into scrap. So, the point still stands.

Even though they're mostly zinc now?

You can sell them to Ea-nasir.

Apparently the calculator i used refers only to pre-1982 pennies. But those are still plentiful and can be found without issue
