[Attention Surplus Disorder]

If you do the math on how many rolls of pennies you’d have to sort through to pay for one of the machines, you better start adding in the cost of railroad spur to the side of your house!

Less than a half ton of pennies (which will fit in a pickup truck, no rail siding required) will pay for the machine - assuming 10% are pre-’82. Of course, those who use these machines also resort the coins to find numismatically valuable ones.

But it’s a hobby, like those who use metal detectors to find stuff.

My greater concern is what I’d do with the pile of newer pennies, since I’m not sure who will happily accept an unrolled bulk pile.
