you have to prove that the pennies are copper and not zinc.

Unlikely. If your time has any value whatsoever you're going to waste more sorting them than they're worth.

Most pennies do not really have a whole lot of copper in them, so selling them to a copper recycler will not do you much good.

If you need to buy a loaf of bread and you are short 3 cents, do you think the strore is going to give it to you?????

Let me put my two cents in, after the pennies are all gone, no one could have a penny for your thoughts.

The genuine copper pennies–google the date–will be worth more as something to collect than as scrap copper. Put them in a bucket and wait. They'll creep up in value over time.

I'm pretty there's a federal law about destroying coins of the realm. and I don't really think there's much copper in a penny anymore. Copper is too valuable to use in pennies. As you say they are pretty much worthless.

no

Every penny that's made after 1982? has zinc in it. Copper is only used on the top cover.

yup, if they are copper not zinc
