In case you're wondering, that many pennies
would weigh in at around 358,000 tons.
That's a lot of copper and zinc...
There are far more leftie-leaning website than conservative ones, and newrepublic.com is certainly on the fringe side of the left. Thing...
Pennies, the one cent piece, costs over 2.5cents each to manufacturer a few years ago, and was mostly copper until early 1980s, it's been copper plated since. What a waste of taxpayers' monies to spend far more making a product than its designated "worth". However, when you need a copper washer, or any washer, the price ain't too bad.
