...and apparently it's headed there again (I don't follow metals much), there was a guy here with a plan. Rather than stealing the copper plumbing out of vacant homes, he acquired/built (IDK which?) a "sorting machine" to sort pennies by weight. He was going to banks (all over the place) and buying large quantities of pennies--as in thousands of dollars in pennies per week/month. He was sorting them by weight to capture the pure copper pennies, smelt them down in his garage, and then sell the pure copper ingots. He'd return the newer copper/zinc pennies to the banks. Apparently, the copper was worth more by weight than a penny.
Another guy got busted stealing the "old school" cast-aluminum parking meters. He'd empty them of any money, and then scrap the meters for scrap value. He had hundreds of them in his garage when they caught him.
