Copper Penny Sorting
versus
Copper Penny Buying
To sort, or not to sort: copper pennies.
Copper pennies are worth their weight in copper. In fact, so much so, that the copper value far exceeds the face value of the copper penny. Because of this, people are sorting pennies to pull out the copper ones.
This article is a guide, not a rule. Take what is presented here as thoughts to help you make your own determination on the best option for you.
The question here is should you sort pennies for copper or buy them:
The Penny Factors
There are a number of factors that go into whether the best way for you is to sort or buy. Not every person is the same. Medical conditions, transportation available, geography, finances, jobs, family, and a number of other factors play a role.
To simply, we have deemed all these various things and more into variables of a math equation that you can calculate to determine whether sorting or buying is the best route for you. The only way to really do this is to remove the human equation by turning all human factors and non-human factors into the following one term:
Time.
Penny Time
Time is important. Your time is really the only thing you have that is a constant figure to compare all else to. How much time is what changes based on the individual person, and that is what we are going to calculate here by diving into all of the factors that are added together to equal your time.
When we have accomplished that, your copper penny sorting time is either going to be less than or greater than your copper penny buying time. Logic would dictate that whichever requires less of your time is the route to go.
You are going to be asked to assign actual numbers to do this equation. If you aren’t sure, time yourself or take your best guess.
Assumption: We assume you are sorting pennies between copper pennies and zinc pennies to keep the copper cents and that you are doing so mechanically with machinery.
Another assumption: Calculate time in terms of months. Meaning if you are asked what the total transportation time is then calculate that in terms of how much time you spend monthly on transportation.
When asked how much time is involved in an activity, assign that time in terms of minutes and hours.
So let’s begin.
Copper Penny Sorting Time
Transportation time - how much time does it take you to get your pennies between the time it takes you to acquire pennies (placing an order online, driving to and from the bank or where ever, filling up your gas tank, waiting in a bank teller line, hauling in bags to your sorting location, etc).
Geography plays a huge role here because the ratio of zinc pennies to copper pennies changes based on you physical location in the United States.
You need to also include transportation time to dispose of any pennies you are not keeping (ie: zinc pennies), particularly if you have a pick up location and dump location (meaning you deposit your zinc pennies to a different location taking more time).
Equipment time - To sort out copper pennies by any reasonable scale, you need sorting equipment or machinery. This requires cost in purchasing, maintaining, and replacement parts.
Yes. This is a money number. But time = money. How much time does it take you to make the money you need to buy and upkeep this machinery? That is the time amount you will put here.
One way to calculate this would be to take the total cost and maintenance cost and divide it by your income source. Hourly wages make this easy. If you are retired, take your retirement income monthly, divide by 4.33 (number of weeks in a month), divide by 40 (assume working 40 hours a week). That gives you an hourly wage to calculate out your time needed in hours to purchase and maintain this machinery.
Note: Common question we are asked: Isn’t this a one-time expense so it isn’t really a long-term factor and should not be included?
Answer: Yes and no. Machines break all the time. You cannot make the assumption you will buy one machine and it will just work forever. Therefore, you need to incorporate this figure to be conservative in your equation. The point is to realistically determine numbers here. By being conservative, you are better ensuring you make the right decision.
If you choose to do the sorting yourself, you can always recalculate this equation based on updated costs involved in machinery and transportation.
Sorting Time
How long does it take you to sort coin. This is a tough one as sorting $100 is much different than $1,000 and certainly different than $100,000. You need to choose what your goal is. How much do you want to sort in a given month?
Pick what is a realistic amount as things always take longer than anticipated in this type of operation.
Include everything. Examples are: Cracking open rolls, placing coin in machinery, machinery jams, machinery cleaning, fixing errors and having to resort already sorted coin, double sorting if that is done, hand sorting through any of it, bathroom breaks (even washing hands due to handling dirty coin), and any other time taken as a result of doing coin sorting you would not have normally done if you were not doing coin sorting (no matter how insignificant it may seem).
Depending on how you dispose of coin, you may also need to involve re-rolling coin or however else the receiving location requires your coin to be handled.
Take the total time and there you go. That’s how long it takes you, per month, to sort copper pennies. You’ll notice that sorting time is drastically different between individuals based on geography (how much total pennies do you need to sort to get X amount of copper pennies) and total copper penny goal (how many copper pennies are you actually trying to sort).
Copper Penny Buying Time
This one is easy to calculate.
How much money does it cost you, over face value, to buy copper pennies, for the same amount of copper pennies you stated above you were realistically going to sort monthly. Take that cost and divide it by your monthly income turned into an hourly wage. If retired, take your retirement income monthly, divide by 4.33 (number of weeks in a month), divide by 40 (assume working 40 hours a week). That gives you an hourly wage to calculate out your time needed in hours to buy copper pennies.
Why do we say over face value? Because getting copper pennies to sort still costs face value. Therefore, the face value time number for both sorting and buying are equal and negate themselves, mathematically not being relevant for comparison.
Yes, you could simply withdraw money from a savings account to buy them, however, the idea is to compare buying versus sorting, so you need to base this on income sources. If you do not have an income source, base your income amount on your previous income source.
Remember, the amount of hours you calculated is how much extra time you would have to work to buy copper pennies from a cost perspective.
The extra hours worked could mean having to pick up an extra day of work which means you should also add the time it takes to get to and from work. The idea here is not to take away from your already existing disposable income, but rather what it would cost in time to buy with additional disposable income.
The results
Only you know this answer. However, time and time again, it has been proven sorting just is not time efficient. People specialize in the areas they are good at and excel with what they are good at. They become efficient and accomplished because of this. Sure, hobby sorting can be fun. If fun is what you’re going for, that’s fantastic and we wish you the best. This article is on deciding which is more efficient from a time perspective.
Health
Take care of yourself. Sorting coin involves lots of repetitive lifting of coin which can get heavy. Coin is also dirty and not only can you get dirt on your hands, but you can literally breathe in excessive dirt due to long exposure of coin sorting. Be safe. Your health is important!
Opportunity Cost
The main thing to take away here is opportunity cost. This means when given a choice between only doing either Option 1 or Option 2, you only get to choose one. Therefore, if you choose Option 1, your cost is that you no longer have the opportunity to do Option 2. And vice versa, if you choose Option 2, your cost is you no longer have the opportunity to do Option 1.
That is why time is a recommended fashion for choosing whether to sort copper pennies or buy copper pennies: Whichever route takes the least time means the less opportunity cost. Or rather, gives you more time to do other things.
Clearly, the more copper pennies you wish to sort, the vast amount more time it takes to do so. It is plausible that there is an inverse relationship where sorting smaller amounts such as $100 a week may be more beneficial to sort where as sorting thousands upon thousands is not practical.
After all, time equals money. So if you save time, you’re saving money.
Full Disclosure
We sell copper pennies. That means we have a vested interest in you buying copper pennies. That being said, our goal is for you to save money and save time. If you are in the vast minority of people that save both time and money by doing the sorting yourself, then we are happy to encourage you to continue to do what is in your best interest.
Just keep in mind your goals. If you are looking to seriously invest and prosper on copper pennies in numbers reaching over $100,000 then it may no longer be realistic to be able to personally sort and store copper pennies. At that point, buying may truly be your best option.
After all, we specialize in copper pennies and therefore, our ability to sort and process is very efficiently and extremely well priced in the market. Why compete when you can join.

Avoid Short-Term Copper Futures Risk
Copper prices, like other metals, fluctuate in price. This can be due to a wide birth of reasons from world demand, internationally imposed tariffs, bull & bear markets, to controversial corporate commodities price manipulation.
There’s a key to avoiding the short-term risk of copper futures investing. Rather than bidding on copper price in the stock market on a prediction of price rising or falling, you can buy physical copper significantly below copper market price so the risk of your investment is heavily avoided.
The key is investing in copper as an inflation beating commodity that is a base metal rather than precious metal. As a base metal, copper is known to be a necessary component in industries such as construction and machinery as well as other industries like electronics. As the world’s third most well used base metal, you have a safe long-term bet that copper will rise in value.
Understanding the value in a base metal demand and use proves the value in investing. To avoid the futures risk of short-term price fluctuations, invest in copper pennies below copper spot price. Copper pennies, minted by the United States Mint, are made of 95% copper and 5% zinc, making their intrinsic copper metal value over 2.5 times greater than their face value.
Of course, you could invest in copper bars, copper rounds, or other investment-grade forms of copper. As an investor (investment buyer), you are looking for the highest return in relation to safety for your wealth (risk versus reward).
As an investment products seller (investment product seller does not mean your investment broker but rather the company that is selling the product your broker suggests buying), coining investment terms surrounding investment products that are more expensive (cost more for less product) yields greater profit and return for the investment products seller. Therefore, investment grade copper products will be more expensive to the investor.
Your goal is to find the best investment product that suits your needs. Copper pennies are the ideal copper investment for wealth security in commodities. The best part about investing in copper pennies is you gain clear market recognition because pennies are easily distinguishable and recognized with guaranteed 95% copper purity by the United States Mint. Your copper pennies even hold their own insurance policy on their value. After all, a penny is worth at least penny.
Invest in copper pennies. Do some research on pricing before buying. Most importantly:

Investing Millions in Copper
Looking to invest millions in copper in the most stable, real, and cost effective manner possible? We can help you invest in the copper penny (95% pure copper, over 2.5x face value in metal value) and the copper nickel (75% pure copper, over face value in metal value as well), both minted in the United States.
These little treasures may be only one cent or five cents in face value individually, however, added up, make a sizable asset and significant metal value return due to their intrinsic metal composition.
We offer highly competitive pricing to ensure a lucrative and profitable return for your investment. This is made possible for two reasons:
We can acquire pennies and nickels for face value plus our overhead (fees we incur, machinery, labor, etc) so our cost is much less than actual investment grade copper.

How to Invest in Copper Bullion
Commodities Investing
Forget investment grade copper with high premiums and copper rounds & copper bars selling for copper price plus a fee. There is an alternative that may surprise you:
The United States penny. A unique investment in the United States penny, specifically the ones from 1982 and older made of 95% pure copper, will yield huge results. Here’s why:
United States Dollar Has Lost 95% of its Value
|
The U.S. Dollar is historically known to have a start value of when the Federal Reserve took control of it in 1913. Due to inflationary and political practices of printing massive amounts of currency (think “Quantitative Easing” strategies) is known to be worth less than 95% of its original value. As a paper currency, the dollar bill loses value and is pegged to the face value of what is own the paper. |
Precious Metals and Copper
Historical and recent price gains have brought to public attention precious metal investing of gold and silver. An overlooked asset by many is copper.
Copper has huge demand in day-to-day manufactured items from automobiles, electronics, houses, and more. With inflation pushing metal prices up, world demand for copper use driving copper price up, and a devaluing U.S. dollar, copper is seen as a very durable and tangible safe haven for investing.
Better than Copper Stock
Coins are uniquely valued because they are made of metal and have an intrinsic value (a coin is worth its weight in the metal it is made of). Because of this, a copper penny made of 95% copper is worth over 2.5 times its face value in its metal value. This is because of the devalued value of the U.S. Dollar.
A copper stock is not a real asset as you only own the promise of a payout. Copper pennies are tangible and real. You physically own them. Therefore, your investment in copper pennies is better than copper stock because once you have possession of them, they are yours to keep until you wish to sell them.
Affordable Investing in Copper Versus Investment Grade Copper
While many investors out there are picking up what is known as investment grade copper at high premiums, there is an very affordable alternative in copper pennies and copper bar drops.
A copper penny has a face value of 1 cent but is worth over 2 cents. That means copper penny dealers that sell copper pennies as investments have lower cost per penny (1 cent plus overhead cost). Therefore, the copper penny can be sold for less than its actual copper metal value.
Many investors may not be able to afford gold and silver, but copper in the form of copper pennies become very affordable. To those that do buy gold and silver, copper pennies make a very advantageous method for diversifying investment assets into the copper market at competitive pricing.
Of course, if you’re looking for shorter term copper investments with a higher cost but higher copper purity then copper bars or copper punchings may be the best solution for you.
The Catch with copper pennies
Like any investment, there is always a catch. But this catch with copper pennies actually keeps the price lower for copper penny investor buyers. You can’t melt the copper penny due to U.S. law. Therefore, sellers trade below copper spot price.
What does that mean? Buy low now, sell high later. If you’re looking to flip a quick dollar by melting copper pennies, copper pennies are not for you given it is illegal to do so.
Any experienced coin metals investor will know that melting down coins for metal value or selling to a scrap yard yields lower profits than keeping the coin as a coin. This is because coins have market recognition because they are easily identifiable by potential buyers and the metal composition and purity is well known and accurate. Market recognition raises value and increase ease to sell.
Copper Pennies: Time Sensitive & Price Proof
Canada has eliminated the penny and will no longer mint the one cent coin. The United States cannot be far behind. This means investing in copper pennies is time sensitive.
When the news that Canada eliminated the penny, the price of Canadian pennies and Canadian copper pennies skyrocketed. Therefore, investing in United States pennies below copper price will become limited and is a time sensitive investment.
Not only is the Canadian penny elimination proof of a limited investing time, but also it is proof of value. Very little investments are certain and rarely can we, as investors, see into the future. In this case, we can see into the future and predict a similar outcome for the U.S. copper penny based on the Canadian copper penny (made of the same copper purity).
If you’re looking to stabilize and diversify a financial portfolio, then you may just have found the most up-and-coming anticipated copper investment in the world.
How Much Do Copper Pennies Cost
The cost of buying copper pennies depends on the coin dealer. Like any investment, buying in bulk should always be cheaper.

Invest in Copper Below Market Price
Have you ever read a news article on precious metals, like gold and silver, and metals, like copper, and wonder how successful people are buying them up as great investments? I’m sure you have. The key to remember is that the large-time investors securely buy commodities like gold, silver, and copper at very competitive pricing that is not generally available to the general public. This is due to a wealth of networking and connections.
So how do you do what they do so you can make money too? Find a way to buy commodities below their price!
Easier said than done. But in this case, it’s actually quite easy to do with U.S. copper pennies.
First, and foremost, let’s state the facts. Copper pennies are made of 95% copper and 5% zinc, minted 1982 and older. Every copper penny is worth more than its face value because of its copper metal value.
Second, and pricing-wise important, copper pennies are available to purchase below copper price for a limited time. Here’s why:
It is illegal to melt the penny or export the penny. This is because the United States government knows the value of the copper penny exceeds the face value and, if legal, would be melted down, causing a shortage of pennies in the currency market. The result would be a need to mint more pennies, which currently costs 2.41 cents to create as of 2012. But most important, this is the best news possible for copper penny investor buyers.
Illegal to melt may intrigue people as to how it is the best news and how they can get the value out of their copper penny if they can’t actually turn the copper penny into copper. To answer this, one may simply point to gold coins and silver coins. Gold and silver coins are traded above market price without ever being melted down. This is because of a number of factors, but the most important factor is Market recognition.
Market Recognition
If you see a silver bar, how do you know the purity and if it is not fraudulent? You’d have to be able to conduct tests, which the average consumer does not have the tools necessary to accomplish or desire to learn how. This means the ability to recognize the silver bar as being what it actually is may be difficult for the average person making the general market recognition poor.
A coin minted by the U.S. Mint is easily recognized as such based on its size, weight, and design on the front and back. The content of the coin can be determined by reading the year the coin was minted. Even if a consumer does not know what years are silver, there are hundreds of sources for a consumer to look up the date based on the coin denomination and model to verify its silver content (if any). You will also know the quality (purity) of the coin is correct as the U.S. mint is required to create coins consistently.
Market recognition means consumers can easily determine the value and purity of the coin making coins an ideal metal trading medium and a very high value market recognition item. This is the same for copper pennies as they are also easily recognized as a penny with a date to very the metal make of the coin.
Advantages: Illegal to Melt
Back to the conversation on why being illegal to melt pennies is the best news for copper penny investor buyers. Being illegal to melt makes the current trading price of copper pennies below copper market price. This means you can pay less money for a coin that is intrinsically worth more money. Yes, you cannot get your money back right away. But you’re reading this because you want to know how to preserve your hard earned money which means you aren’t looking for an exit strategy immediately.
Even if you needed an exit strategy, copper penny sellers will buy your copper pennies or you can always trade on the general market as there are a number of people that do buy copper pennies. Though the real facts here are that you are looking to preserve your wealth and make a significant amount of money in the long-run based on a unique commodities market opportunity, not just turn a quick buck. So exit strategies are obvious once it is legal to melt and you can fully capitalize on your copper penny investment.
And let’s not forget, a copper penny is a penny which is worth one cent. That means, unlike the stock market, you have a base floor value of your copper investment that your copper pennies cannot fall below.
Why Invest in Copper Pennies
So why buy copper pennies now, while it is illegal to melt? Because no one is going to sell you copper pennies below copper price once it is legal to melt. This is true not just when it is legal to melt, but as soon as it becomes publicly known that copper pennies have a end time line (ie: eliminated as a currency which is being discussed in Congress).
It is either now or never. So take your pick, do your research, and find out if copper pennies is the right investment for you to break into the copper commodities market below copper price. Beat out everyone else to a niche market. After all, in the 1970s, silver coins were in the exact same situation (metal value beginning to exceed their face value). Now, a silver coin is worth over 2000% of its face value. Back then, it was a new niche market. If the saying goes of “History repeats” then you know you’re in for a great deal when buying copper pennies below copper market price.

How to Make Money off of Copper Pennies
You can make money off of pennies. Specifically copper pennies. This is because the copper penny (made of 95% copper and 5% zinc) is worth over 2x in its metal value than its face value.
Many people don’t think about the penny, but the truth is, pennies have distinct advantages as an investment that are unique to themselves. There are many articles written on this site about copper pennies, copper nickels, copper in general, and more.
If, however, pure copper bars are more to your taste for copper investing, read this article on the pure copper bar drops versus fancy stamped copper bars (this will open a new web browser window so you won’t lose your place here).
To start, here is how to make money off of copper pennies:
-
Understand Pennies
Copper in Pennies Weighs More than Face Value
-
| Pennies. Small, tiny little coins that appear worthless to the average person. Pennies are so under appreciated that they get tossed on the ground and people walk by without a second thought. A copper penny is worth more than its face value because of its copper metal content (a copper penny is made of 95% copper and 5% zinc). This means that the actual physical weight of each individual penny makes that penny worth a weight value in metal.
|  |
The metal value of copper for each penny makes the copper penny very valuable in large quantities. The U.S. isn’t the first country to have a coin become worth a lot due to their metal value. Many countries have eliminated their lowest cent value. How does money become so high in cost to produce? Inflation and massive printing of currency is just a start of the problem.

Devalued Dollar = Inflation = Valuable Pennies
-
|
|
Copper pennies really hold a great value. This is because the United States dollar is heavily devalued. In fact, the dollar is so devalued, most people do not realize how much less purchasing power the dollar has since its inception. Sure, we buy things. We sell things. It’s how trade works. We also import and export goods from an international |
perspective. But have you ever considered how inflation plays a role? Click the dollar devaluation chart on the left to enlarge it. This illustrates the purchasing power of the dollar since it’s inception in 1913. Yes, the dollar was around before that in various forms. 1913 was the year the Federal Reserve came into power, so that is a rather critical date to look at in terms of control of our money, as in control over the Dollar. Purchasing power is simply the amount of real tangible goods a dollar can buy.
The dollar is worth but a fraction of what it once was. A penny is 1/100th of the value of a dollar. If the dollar has become a fraction of what it once was, a penny is a fraction of the fraction. So to summarize the point: the price of the US dollars is going down, so the value of copper gets inflated. This is why the penny is worth a lot. Because the penny’s face value has become worth so little due to the devaluing of the dollar, that the weight in copper of the copper penny has become extremely valuable, that, and commodities in in huge demand. Particularly gold, silver, and copper.
That is one of the main points why copper pennies have become so valuable. Between commodity prices on the rise and the dollar on the fall, copper pennies have become very worthwhile. In fact, the worse inflation gets and more devalued the dollar becomes, the better the price outlook on copper pennies becomes.

Size Matters
-
 |
The more you have, the more the investment is worth. But what is considered a lot of pennies? Even ten pounds is a great way to start.
Of course, ten pounds of copper pennies is more of a starter package of an investment. After all, |
you want to make serious money, and to make serious money, you’ll need to find the right portion of your financial portfolio to put in copper pennies. Even if you don’t have a financial portfolio, you can still begin to build up a copper penny investing stockpile. Something is better than nothing. Even if you buy $100 of copper pennies then that’s a |
|
great head start. Investing in $1,000 is an ideal way to start a financial portfolio diversification into copper pennies. Eventually, you can work to build a huge stockpile. Though the life expectancy of the penny continuing to be minted is anticipated to not last too long. So invest in copper pennies while you still have time to get a head start on everyone else that did not buy any copper pennies. Go at your own pace, at the amount that is right for you.

Should I Hold onto Copper Pennies
-
| Yes. If you want to hedge against inflation. Commodities are a great way to make a profit while outpacing dollar value drops and rising inflationary trends. Gold and silver are expensive. Copper pennies are cheap. All three are commodities. So why pay extra for a commodity when you can invest in real |
|
commodities below copper price cost? Copper pennies are very durable tangible assets. They’re just as strong and recognizable as .999 copper bullion bars, but backed by the United States currency and significantly cheaper copper to invest in. Even if your house burnt down, your hundred dollar bills would burn up, but the copper pennies would survive. Perhaps a little blackened, but the copper would be intact. Holding onto copper pennies is a great way to secure your wealth in commodities while maintaining a security against failed currencies.
You can invest in .999 pure copper bars or .999 copper scrap for short term copper holdings as an industrial commercial grade base metal. Great for the short run usually holds higher premiums. Medium to long-term holdings generally have much lower premiums, thus the price difference between forms of copper in addition to purity.
The longer you hold onto your copper penny investment, the greater copper price should outpace inflation and the better your ROI (return on investment) will be. Copper spot price drives copper penny price, so holding onto copper pennies means you make money. Depending on how economic events unfold, there are other advantages to holding onto copper pennies to make money that most people do not think about. One such event is currency failure and hyperinflation (read more: Copper Penny Hoarders).

Make Money off Failed Currencies
-
Failed currencies are not discussed to be scary, but rather investment facts to anticipate. In fact, anticipating economic disasters is a fact of necessity in the life of investing. As a prudent investor to secure ones wealth, one must prepare for possible outcomes. One currency in the news these days on the possibility of failure is the Euro.
 |
If the Euro collapses, that doesn’t mean anarchy and the complete collapse of society. It means that a new currency (or multiple) would be needed as a medium of exchange.
What is a medium of exchange? Simply a well recognized and accepted concept used to make trade easier (these days in the form of currency). In the past, objects ranging from gold, sticks, rocks, to even chocolate were used in various places throughout the world. Currency is used because it’s easy. After all, currency is just simply the ability to sell something of value to buy something of value while being easily transferable from person to person. This is the alternative to having a barter economy. And if the Euro could collapse, who is to say the U.S. dollar can’t collapse? |
| After all, the dollar is considered the world currency. This means that to trade in certain goods (like crude oil) countries must buy dollars rather than using their own currency. Therefore, there is enough dollars printed to be utilized not just by people of the United States, but countries throughout the world. That
|
|
means supply meets world demand for dollars. If the dollar is not used as a world currency, there would be world supply for dollars with only the demand of people in the United States plus those buying U.S. goods in terms of demand for dollars. This would create a huge imbalance between supply and demand. Basic economics would suggest the price of dollars would plummet. The demand for dollars would drop so suddenly, it could cause a huge devaluing spike in the value of the dollar, causing a potential attack by hyperinflation on our economy.
So if a currency collapses, your best investment is an investment that let’s you hold onto the value of your wealth when transferring from the old currency to the new currency. While everyone else is holding onto dollars which have their value destroyed through hyperinflation, you’ll be holding onto copper pennies, a commodity investment in copper. To create stability in an economy, a new currency will have to be distributed at a fair ratio to replace the old currency for holders of the old currency. If everyone else trades at a 1:1 ratio (old to new), then you want a 1:2 ratio (1 old to 2 new).
That means you’d double your wealth in comparison to everyone else. Will copper pennies do that? Answers currently point towards copper pennies definitely helping with a big Yes. Hyperinflation comes about from too much supply of currency (read coins can defeat hyperinflation). Therefore, a reduction in supply of the new currency would be important. So for example, you’d have a ratio more like 5:1 or even 20:1 (old currency face value to new currency face value). This would get prices under control. However, you’d have copper pennies, and instantly be able to sell the copper for the new currency at the well ratio’d cost of the old currency.
Hindsight is 20, 20. But having something useful to society is a great way to start. The key to wealth preservation is not always about making money. Sometimes it is as simple as not losing as much money as everyone else. After all, if you hold still, and everyone else loses money, you’ve gained wealth.

Capitalize on Pennies
When Should I sell my Copper Pennies
-
At the peak of an upswing economic market. When the economy gets tough, the tough should hoard their copper pennies. Copper is a very market economy-driven metal. In the long run, copper is a heavily demanded metal that pushes copper price above the devaluing of the dollar and inflationary effects on society. But when any economy is bearish, copper tends to be bearish).
So when the economy is in a slump, you should buy copper pennies because the copper penny investing cost will be lower. When the economy becomes bullish, copper prices tend to spike.
| Since copper pennies are essentially copper bullion as a copper investment, that means the price of investing in copper pennies rises with a rising copper price. This can be seen with just about any commodity, one example being when the price of crude oil rises, so does gas price to fill up your car. When gas prices are high, a buyer pays more. The catch is so does the gas company which has to refill the oil tanks.
|
|
For you, the catch with copper pennies as an investment is the other way around. You buy your copper pennies ahead of time in large investment quantities when copper prices are low and bearish. Then the easiest hard part: have patience. Wait for the dollar to continue to get devalued. Wait for the economy to pick up. Patience is difficult, but necessary. Once the economy bulls, copper bulls, and you can sell whenever you wish (read about How & Why to Invest in Copper Bullion).

Total National Debt
The national debt of the United States has reached numbers that are overwhelmingly hard to fathom:

Taking a step back from actual total dollar value of the debt, there is another rather important factor to review. Perhaps, this factor is even more important than the national debt itself. Let’s review the interest payments on the national debt.

The Hidden Problem with the National Debt
The United States has paid to the Federal Reserve, a privately owned central bank in charge of our money supply, a total of nearly half a trillion dollars in interest payments alone. Who is receiving that interest? The owners of the Federal Reserve. Who is paying those interest payments? You, the taxpayer. That is the hidden problem and hidden truth you are not supposed to know. You pay higher federal income tax to pay interest on debt that is pocketed by the elitist rich.
That is the real true nature of government debt in a country with a debt-based currency controlled and manipulated through a central private bank. Removing this debt-based currency in favor of a debt-free currency run by the government itself would mean saving half a trillion dollars per fiscal year. That’s a lot of money without any budget cuts or tax increases. This sounds like a political win for politicians in the eyes of the general public. However, it is political suicide for a politician in the eyes of the Money Changers, the people in charge of the Federal Reserve that hold the majority of the world’s wealth and do the most lobbying and contribution to those politicians’ campaigns. Perhaps it is time for a change in the sociological, political, and economic system of the United States.

“To cause high prices, all the federal reserve board will do will be to lower the re-discount rate, producing an expansion of credit and a rising stock market; then when business men are adjusted to these conditions, it can check prosperity in mid-career by arbitrarily raising the rate of interest. It can cause the pendulum of a rising and falling market to swing gently back and forth by slight changes in the discount rate, or cause violent fluctuations by a greater rate variation, and in either case it will possess inside information as to financial conditions and advance knowledge of the coming change, either up or down.
This is the strangest, most dangerous advantage ever placed in the hands of a special privilege class by any government that ever existed. The system is private, conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits from the use of other people’s money. They know in advance when to create panics to their advantage. they also know when to stop panic. Inflation and deflation work equally well for them when they control finance.”
- Rep. Charles Linbergh (R-MN),
United States Congressman 1907 to 1917. |

Banks Change Regulation
and the Metals Stock
Market Crashes
“Did the Big Banks Manipulate the Metals Stock Market to Crash?”
Did you know that that a regulation change on commodity swapping on large trader reporting was temporarily abolished only four days before the metals stock market dropped and the commodities market crashed? The proof:
On September 16th, 2011 The U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission changed the entire regulation system to be effective on September 20th, 2011:
|
|
| “The Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (Commission’s) Division of Market Oversight (Division) today issued a letter providing temporary relief from the requirements of the Commission’s regulations regarding large trader reporting of physical commodity swaps (§§20.3 and 20.4). Because this is the first time that swaps data is being collected, this temporary relief is intended to provide sufficient time to enable both the industry and the Commission to develop and refine systems and processes that will be able to report these complex transactions.
On July 22, 2011, the Commission published large trader reporting rules for physical commodity swaps and swaptions. The rules require daily reports from clearing organizations, clearing members and swap dealers, and become effective on September 20, 2011. The letter issued today provides temporary relief from reporting, as long as parties are making a good faith attempt to comply with the reporting requirements, until November 21, 2011, for cleared swaps, and January 20, 2012, for uncleared swaps. Upon the conclusion of applicable relief periods, such reporting parties must become fully compliant.”
-Source.
|
In words that make sense:
The big players that own most of the market in commodities are being trusted to operate ethically and correctly on “good faith.” Is not the purpose of The U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to protect the public from fraud and manipulation by these big players through continued regulation and reporting? Let’s read the mission statement of the CFTC:
| “The CFTC’s mission is to protect market users and the public from fraud, manipulation, abusive practices and systemic risk related to derivatives that are subject to the Commodity Exchange Act, and to foster open, competitive, and financially sound markets.”
-Source. |
What happened in the Metals Stock Market:
The stock market drops 6% two days after the regulation change goes into effect. But the real damage was in metals.
Gold
|
Gold drops 11% over the course of four days. This is a hit of $200 per troy ounce. Gold, as a high desired precious metal in difficult economic times, should go up in a bad economy, not down. So what happened? Was the “Twisting” policy enacted by the Federal Reserve and Treasury cause for the U.S. dollar to become so stable that gold plummets in price? This would imply that the rest of the world was selling off gold too in favor of the U.S. dollar. Unfortunately, we are left to speculate on what actually happened until we can look back with all the appropriate numbers at a later date. Hindsight is 20 20 vision. We will know eventually what really happened. |
Silver
|
Silver drops 25% in two days. 25% in two days! This is a hit of $10 per troy ounce. But take a step back for a moment to analyze this situation:
Regulations go away so we, the people, don’t know what the big players are doing as soon as they do it, causing a delay from when they act, us reacting.
Silver starts getting sold off, presumably by the big players, to start a trend of silver dropping in price from being sold off.
Silver was expected to be a huge power precious metal and rise in price dramatically. So why did the price drop? And why did regulations change right before the price dropped?
|
|
Copper
Copper drops from nearly $3.75 per pound (hitting a high of $4.50 not too long ago) to just over $3.00 per pound. this is a 20% loss.
|
But to sell something, it has to be bought.
So who is buying it up?
Without regulations, we do not know. Speculation would suggest the big players forced the price down, and then are the ones buying it up at a cheaper price.
How do big players profit from this?
|
On a downward trend cycle, they sell at the higher point of the downward trend. Then the smaller players continue to sell, thinking this is the right move, bringing the price lower. The big players then wait for the price to reach a point where they profit by buying it up. The big players then start buying, causing the smaller players to see this and think it is the right move to buy, so they buy too. This then drives the price up. The result: The big players sold first at the higher price, and bought first at the lower price, profiting from the difference, or spread, of the two figures.
This price drop is incredible and highly suspect of potential manipulation, which is not being regulated by the very group that is supposed to regulate to stop manipulation. The findings are disturbing. Regulations forcing these large traders to report their numbers do not take effect again until “November 21, 2011, for cleared swaps, and January 20, 2012, for uncleared swaps.”
Without proper regulating, we the people cannot properly audit this form of manipulation, which is known to exist. Though one could argue that though this manipulating of the market is known, but not understood by the general public. If it was understood, would it be acceptable practices by the general public? Is this form of manipulation fraudulent or just good business sense? The problem is that no one talks about it in a manner in which the general public, who are not economists, to know and properly understand it.
Conclusions & Speculations
The facts we know are that the big players who have the ability to do this kind of manipulation are JP Morgan Chase Bank, CitiBank, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs Bank, and the Money Changers that control these banks and the international banking money system. So the big players are the major banks that own the majority of the derivatives of risk in the market and also are known to control the Federal Reserve? This should not come as a surprise.
At this point you should take away only what you feel is appropriate to take away. No conspiracy theories have been presented; Only facts and speculations. You are encouraged to draw your own conclusions, do your own research, and, above all else, demand the truth from the Government Regulation Agencies that are here to protect you. Take a stand. You are not alone if you do not like this manipulated system. Why let the big powers manipulate prices downward so they can buy it all up cheap and then force prices upwards? Capitalize on commodities by securing your wealth in commodities.
The Money System:
Growing Up in a
Fraudulent Economy
“Who really owns our Money?”
How does our Money System work?
Money. We immediately think of dollars. But what are these dollars we consider to be money? A Federal Reserve Note creates what we know as U.S. dollars. These dollars are the most dangerous weapons in the United States, and potentially, the world. There are quite literally trillions upon trillions of these ‘weapons of mass economics’ between paper money and virtual money. Just like in a real war, the guy with the most weapons, generally wins. So who has the most guns? We grew up in this system of money so this is how we believe money is supposed to be. However, is there another way? Is this truly how an economy is supposed to function with money? Let’s discuss this in greater detail.
The Federal Reserve
|
|
Did you know the Federal Reserve in the United States is a private company owned by private individuals and is an autonomous, independent figure, separate than the United States government? The Federal Reserve states that it is not privately owned. Read between the lines of their ownership statement and it is obvious that the central bank is actually owned by private individuals through other banks by law and regulation manipulation. The claim is also that the Federal Reserve does not operate for profit. Yet with promised private dividend payments and exclusive private stock options, this is a highly interwoven complex system that appears as public yet is clearly private. After all, how can those dividends be paid out if the Federal Reserve is not generating income, and looking at the United States federal government interest payments on the U.S. deficit shows just how inflated those payments truly are (source). This means the entire money supply of the United States is produced and controlled by a very select few rich elitists that own the Federal Reserve (through ownership of the banks that own the Federal Reserve) completely separate than elected Congressman, and, as a result, have sufficient unlimited funds to lobby for their choice of Congressmen to elect to the United States government at all positions. Ever heard the saying that 1% of the world population own the majority of the world’s wealth? Well these people, commonly referred to and known as ‘Money Changers’ are not the 1% rich elitists of the population, but rather the 1% of the 1%. One particular well-known family belonging to these Money Changers is the Rothschild family.
The Money Changers
 |
‘Money Changers’ is a name passed on since Biblical times for the what we now know as the international bankers that control the central banks of the world we now live in. Note that though we have depicted an image based on Biblical times, the reference is to illustrate the importance of the story, not the religious implications. The key to take away is that the Money Changers have been around for centuries, conspiring and deceiving, dating far enough back to be seen in Biblical stories. These Money Changers make their living by manipulating society through accumulated wealth to utilize their choice of currency as a means of |
medium of exchange and charge a premium to acquire that medium of exchange, known as money.
This may sound complicated, but really it is not. If you have wealth that people desire, you can utilize that wealth by giving it to a few unique leaders, and through those leaders, convince the general population to use your choice of money. Since you have independent control of that money, you can manipulate the use of it by the general public to meet your own investment needs. For example, if you want a recession to occur, you’d simply remove money from circulation. Less money means less buying power by people, and therefore people spend less and buy less. When people buy less, a recession occurs as the economy has less money circulating through it. These Money Changers then force prices down, in which today, we know as the stock market. When prices are lowered, the Money Changers buy up the stock (after all, the market can’t drop if people are not selling stock, and you can not sell something unless someone is buying it). Once the Money Changers buy up the stock at lower prices, they manipulate the market by producing more money into society, increasing buying power, which makes people spend more, making prices rise and the economy grow. This raises the stock market. So what happens? Stocks go up from small companies to large companies, food commodities like corn to metal commodities like copper. The key is that the stocks that the Money Changers bought goes up in value, and therefore, generate wealth. This is a factually known manipulation that has gone on for centuries and is kept secret for the general population for very obvious reasons. This control of the money supply is through central banks.
Central Banks
A central bank, is a privately owned and controlled company which has a monopoly on the entire money supply of an economy. These central banks focus heavily on manipulating banking regulations of the country they reside in to suit their needs. The first major central bank to successfully control a government is the Bank of England, which formed and officially took power in 1694. The Federal Reserve, though very government-sounding, is a private company in the United States that took power in 1913, contrary to the wishes of the general public. These private companies, called central banks, have complete control over the creation of of money in any given nation they reside in. They control the economics of a country through expanding and contracting the money supply, causing bull and bear markets respectively. These private companies quite literally have a monopoly on the money creation industry of a country.
But aren’t companies sued if they are considered monopolies? Microsoft in the 1990s comes to mind. Yet Microsoft and Bill Gates are mere drops in the bucket compared to how rich the people behind the Federal Reserve are. The extreme rich people, ie: Money Changers, lobby/bribe/etc all political parties in the United States so that no matter the political outcome, a debt-based currency presides. We watch our politicians debate over one budget cut versus another. Cuts for the military. Cuts for social programs. Increases for the military. Increases for social programs. The Money Changers do not care which wins or loses. Either way, as long as we are in a debt-based society, the Money Changers win. This is a concept most people do not know. And this is something most people should know. There is a solution. But first, let’s touch on debt-based currencies.
What is a debt-based currency?
Simple. The United States currency is based on bonds, which are based on the good faith of the United States government, produced by the Federal Reserve, then lent out to the banks. These banks then, utilizing fractional reserve banking, lend out that money at 10x the quantity of the original amount lent out. And what makes matters worse is that the big banks like JP Morgan Chase Bank NA, Citibank National Assn, Bank of America NA, and Goldman Sachs Bank NA, all get money from the Federal Reserve, and, almost certainly, own the Federal Reserve as well. The absolutely crazy part is that these big banks lend out the money at 10x to people in the form of loans, usually as mortgages. These elitists that own the banks collect interest on these loans, making money. What is worse is that the United States government has a deficit, which is quite literally a debt owed to the Federal Reserve. This debt requires interest payments. These payments go to the same people that own the big banks. The payments come |
|
from federal income tax of the American people based on their wages and businesses. This absolute dominance and control is, by nature and definition, a monopoly. It is a monopoly on the money supply owned by one independent and private company. All the American citizens are paying for it. This sounds like a good deal for the elitist rich Money Changers and a rather bad deal for the majority of tax paying citizens (and even the non-tax paying people) in the United States.
Whoever Controls the Banks Controls the Money System
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations will grow up around them and will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”
-Thomas Jefferson,
Third President of the United States |
Debt-Free Currency
Do we need a debt-based currency? No. Not in the slightest. The United States Constitution gives the authority to the U.S. government to issue its own currency, without debt. A note in the form of debt is backed by the good faith of the United States government. A bill based on no debt is still backed by the good faith of the United States government. Either suffices since all a bill is, is a medium of exchange for goods and services, ie: the definition of money. No matter the article used as money, Dollars, Euro, or as the ancients Aztecs used, Chocolate, the point is simple: Money is a means to an end of getting what we want. The concept of having money in the form of debt is simply a means for the Money Changers to get an ends of revenue and income based on that debt. The only reason we operate with debt in such a fashion is because the Money Changers use their wealth, mostly acquired through this debt-based system, to continue having a debt-based system, by their monetary influence and control over our governmental officials and politicians. The point is that a debt-based currency means higher taxes on people to pay down government debt. A non-debt based currency means less taxes because no interest has to be paid for that government debt, therefore reducing the cost. The answer seems a simple choice for the majority of the population.

“It is not our own citizens only who are to receive the bounty of our Government. More than eight millions of the stock of this bank are held by foreigners… Is there no danger to our liberty and independence in a bank that in its nature has so little to bind it to our country? … Controlling our currency, receiving our public moneys, and holding thousands of our citizens in dependence would be more formidable and dangerous than a military power of the enemy. If government would confine itself to equal protection, and, as Heaven does its rain, shower its favor alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing. In the act before me there seems to be a wide and unnecessary departure from these just principles.”
- Andrew Jackson, in his veto against renewing the Second Bank of the United States Charter |
This quote is a portion of a speech by Andrew Jackson, the Seventh President of the United States, in opposition of a fiat currency based on debt by a centrally held bank. This was the second central bank to come into power in the United States. And Andrew Jackson would not see it survive knowing the dangers. Andrew Jackson realized a central bank was controlled by the Money Changers, of international banking decent. In other words, foreigners of elitist wealth and greed would be in control of the entire United States economy money supply. Unfortunately for the American people, this was not the end of Money Changers attempts to conquer America through a centralized banking system. The exact same bank did succeed in 1913 and was named the Federal Reserve.
Abraham Lincoln, the Sixteenth President, attempted to create a non-debt based currency known today as the Greenbacks. This was a very welcomed form of currency by the American people as a currency.
| |
“The government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credit needed to satisfy the spending power of the government and the buying power of consumers. The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of government, but it is the government’s greatest creative opportunity. By the adoption of these principles… the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity.”
- Abraham Lincoln, the Sixteenth President of the United States |
Lincoln had it right. There was no need for a central bank. By having the U.S. government in control of its own money, the taxpayers would therefore be in control of their own money supply. By being in control, American citizens would have the ability to determine what social services they wished to pay taxes on, and how much those taxes should be. The currency known as Greenbacks that Abraham Lincoln had created was becoming widespread, at the time, and a danger to the Money Changers. Ironically and coincidentally (though in no ways being claimed in this writing as deliberate), Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. No longer alive, he could not stop the Money Changers from working to remove the Greenbacks from circulation. This left the American people dangerously open to attack by the Money Changers’ debt-based currency.
Money System Conclusions
Why is this debt-free currency not used in our money system in today’s society? Because money is power. And the elitist that control the debt-based currency have power. Every time a war is fought, aid is sent overseas, a house rebuilt, a mortgage drawn, a car loan issued, or any form of government spending or bank-based loan is created, debt is made. Interest is owed on that debt, and the Money Changers make money as a result.
These banks have an insane amount of money in assets and risk in the form of derivatives.
As of June 30th, 2011:
| Bank Name |

Total risk of derivatives of these four financial institutions:
$235,104,741,000,000
Before reading on. Go back to that chart and just look at those numbers. Read them aloud. That amount of money is, quite literally, insane. It is almost incomprehensible to contemplate how much money that actually is to have invested in the markets. To simplify the definition of a derivative: A derivative is something that is based on another source. Therefore, the derivative money is based on the asset money. These banks “create” that value based on the assets, even though it is virtual money that does not technically exist.
The next closest bank is HSBC Bank USA National Assn with $195,000,000 in total assets and $3,916,173,000,000. A huge number, but not even remotely close to the top contenders. It seems rather apparent that if one had to guess which banks own the Federal Reserve that one could guess correctly. This is public information. This information and more can be found on the Comptroller of the Currency Administrator of National Banks web site in this report.
People, like you, need to spend their time to fix our society. Everything you do matters! Whether protesting, making phone calls, hours or minutes passing this information on to family, friends, and coworkers, or simply clicking a “facebook like” on this page helps.
The key is do something. Anything. As long as it is legal of course. The United States Constitution allows the U.S. government to issue its own currency debt-free. The Federal Reserve swindled the American people and should be sued in the name of the people by the federal government to take back our stolen wealth.
| One could even go so far as to properly audit Fort Knox and discover where all the gold went that was illegal confiscated in 1933 from the American people. Getting that gold back through the legal court systems would also be an ideal solution.
Get our gold back. Bring back a debt-free currency. No interest payments for a government deficit means lower income tax. Get our economy back on track. Support Equality. That is the most viable and direct solution to our economy to bring power, money, and the American Dream back to the American people. |

In fact, if the United States government called for an audit and open books of the Federal Reserve, the true owners of the privately controlled central bank would be discovered. Imagine if the owners did turn out, as widely known and accepted, to officially be the major banks listed above (meaning the owners of the banks listed above). The national debt as of October 2011 is 14,868,218,296,426.05. Through the “magic” of fractional reserve banking and derivative risks on assets, the total the above banks have invested in the open market is $235,104,741,000,000. The U.S. debt is but a fraction compared to the money these banks have invested off of non-existing, digital money. Capturing the debt-based stolen wealth back from these individuals would easily pay off the entire Federal government debt, and then some.
Remember, we have been living in the United States under this system since 1913. Before that, the people using this system had been trying to take over for centuries, and had already solidified themselves internationally centuries before that. There is no need for overnight action. Expecting to take back our country could take years. Slow and careful planning to retake back our own society, economy, and freedoms must be done together, realizing it will take time. Change won’t happen over night. The key to change is simple:
It all starts with you. Today.
Take the time to educate your family, friends, coworkers, and strangers. It may seem trivial, but for every extra Facebook like, facebook share, twitter link, google plus posting, email sent, conversation started referencing and linking to this post, will bring us all one step closer to freedom of knowledge, and freedom for ourselves from those in control of our money. Thank you for taking the time for reading, learning, and sharing.
