True. The pre-1982 pennies are copper. They’re worth more melted down than the face value.

Melting pennies is illegal.

Yes, but it is against federal law to melt them down, so if you want to do it, you had best be a bit careful.

I save all my pennies dated 1981 or earlier. They wind up in jars.
The oldest one in my change was from 1910.
