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

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

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