Tacitly at least, that’s $2000+ worth of copper.

“Tacitly at least, that’s $2000+ worth of copper.”

Pennies have been copper-plated zinc since 1982. And between the oil, water, detergent and vinegar, any numismatic value except for an extremely rare coin has probably been destroyed.

He still needs to split out the 1982 and prior to get the copper. But, your right the pennies are better than the check.
