How many are stocking up on old pennies?

It's the official .Gov us mint website but whatever. It seems any topic you inject on or someone provides evidence to contradict you, you want to sound like a know it all.

I'd think scrounging around job sites looking for scrap wire bits would be more profitable. And legal.

In this case the profit was $0.00, almost anything would be more profitable, but... I thought coin collecting was legal?

Not at all.
You or I have a misprint since both are from US Treasury.

Brass, bronze, or even zinc, what exactly are you going to do with pennies?

Collecting, yes; destroying, no.

So, you've got $$$ sitting in a jar that you can't melt down for scrap prices, and it's earning no interest.
