Comment from : Mariah Kelley

In other words, it's illegal but easy to come up with an alibi for burning a penny Difficult to come up with an alibi burning thousands of coins though
Comment from : Lenard Miguel Guevarra

I think this was because of poeple melting pennys and selling the copper for more, thets why they aren't made of copper anymore
Comment from : ScarThor Overlord

So long story short say I wanted to make a hatchet head out of the coins I could but I wouldn’t be able to sell hatchet head

You guys still have pennies? Huh My country made them worthless some 10 years back They still exist, but you can’t use them as currency Now I have a large mason jar, full of pennies that my father gave to me I do nothing with them They sit in my room with a thin sheet of dust covering them I like look at the jar sometimes… but it will never be opened again Not as long as it’s mine

We should burn millions of dollars (for educational purposes) to counter inflation
Comment from : Step Bro

Still boggles my mind that when we reached a point that there was no material to make a penny out of that cost less than a penny, we didn't just kill the penny and instead passed the law to protect them
Comment from : Publius II

It cause u can get more money from a Pennie by just melting it
Comment from : chito pan

Comment from : nates phunk

Comment from : Iconacy

That's a little to far in my opinion Go ahead and misgender me You have the right to free speech AND all of the social, economics, and legal consequences of said speech Haters get hate Don't want to be hated? Stop being hateful It's honestly not that hard to be respectful!
Comment from : LezlyLikesYuri

Why gives a damn? The gov will always shit out more right up until the whole system craps itself and we’re back to valuing the metals the coins are made out of rather than an imaginary number attached to said coin (that isn’t even solid metal anymore they make em out of like 80 zinc
Comment from : Yumby

That metal belongs to you and me, we will do as we please Fk the government
Comment from : Skyler White

By the way, this only exists because the material in a penny is actually worth more than one cent because the value and worth of a penny is gone down overtime It means that essentially they have no point anymore in our drain on the economy several million dollars worth of drain
Comment from : Alex Crazy

Its more just to deter counterfeiters

Comment from : Robstaroo !!!

This is actually why the Netherlands doesn't have 1cent coins anymore They were worth 13 cents in copper so people just melted them and sold the copper
Comment from : ThatGreenGuy

Comment from : SoulXStar

Penny mashing machines: "Ya got the stuff?"
Comment from : Littlefox

Comment from : ColdChimerical

It was made to stop pepole from melting all the old pre 1982 cents beacase they where made from copper
Comment from : minecraftions

so basically, you can do whatever the hell you want to the coin as long as you don't sell the scrap metal
Comment from : Demo God

technically youre making money off this video so yes you are breaking the law
Comment from : AlexTM

This is why we shouldn't be minting 1 cent coinc using 12 cents of material It's wasteful Luckily, One of the only positive things President 44 did was put an end the minting of these coins
Comment from : Yaaqov Politismo the Injudicious

When in doubt, do it for educational purposes
Comment from : TofuDaTurtle

Comment from : FloridaWastelander

Comment from : Widi W Syahrizal

It would be fun to melt $1k in pennies sometime I could probably sell the metal later, but the main reason is entertainment
