Me neither. I would invest in Wheat pennies.

So, do you know if those are worth anything (meaning more than 1¢ each)?
Just wondering because I have a bunch of them. Don't really care, since
I just like the way they look, but I'm curious.

The joy they can bring to a curious kid is priceless. Unless BU
condition, probably not worth much to a collector. Somewhere, I have the
1/4 populated blue penny folders my Grandpa gave me when I was a wee
lad. I think the folders only run through 1970 or so. One of these days,
I will go through my most recent penny jug and populate as many of the
holes as I can. Too bad my previous penny jugs, with older pennies in
them, got stolen. I save every wheat-back I notice in my hand.

The copper in a penny should estimate at 2 cent. (real copper).
It costs 2 cents to make a penny now days. Best I can tell..
