They took the copper out of pennies in 1982. (It was actually a copper-zinc ratio of 95/5; today's pennies are 2.5/97.5.
You can still find plenty of pre-1982 pennies -- which has now caused me to change my plans. I'm going to convert all my assets into pre-1982 pennies and instantly
double my net worth!
(I just told my wife about my new plan and she still isn't impressed -- some people just don't understand "genius.")
