I started saving coins a bit over two months ago and it's definitely fun and addictive. In my case, it's not just pennies, but also nickels, dimes, and quarters. I've been very strategic about how I accumulate them and I roll them each week to keep better track of the progress, and thus far I've been averaging almost $3 a day. At this rate I hope to break $1,000 by the end of the year. If this guy wouldn't have focused only on pennies but also saved nickels, dimes, and quarters, he could've saved up $45,000+ over all those years.
I'm not even a coin collector, but there's no way he cashed those in and didn't waste at least several dozen high value coins. Some pennies are worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Anonymous Maximus I completely agree! Let’s just hope that he held on to more valuable pennies while he was collecting them along the way (pre-sorting would make sense here).
I was in a grocery store several years ago and watched an elderly man pull up in front of the store in a truck with the truck bed completely full of jugs filled with change. He had a couple of male employees unload them and they headed to the Coinstar machine. He said that when he bought the truck he was currently driving he started saving his change so that when it was time to get a new one he could pay for it with his change. Well apparently he new exactly how much he had because he said he had enough to buy one off the showroom floor. I was going to stick around to see how much he ended up with but he had drawn quite a crowd and management of the store was trying to contact their corporate office because they had to pay this out and nobody was sure how much change the coin star machine would accept.

Jon T For real. But I prefer a Roth IRA over traditional ones because I want to get the taxes over with and pay em now. I also use it for stocks. But this dude messed up big time.
illegal to melt coins for profit since 2006, let alone the expense of melting would only make you loose out on total profit having kept in perfect as can be condition as all pennies before 1983 are 88% or 95% at most, depend son year, knowing this percentage it is easy to evaluate the copper value alone
Most pennies up until sometime 1983 were 95% copper the rest zinc but still Illegal to melt for profit. Its still more profitable in its current state knowing the amount of copper content per year of minting, currently a 95% copper penny is worth three times face value. Some certain mintings are worth much much more.
Richard Johnson I was expecting that he would get back $30,000 or a least $20,000 for 45 years of saving just $5,000 that would kinda be disappointing to me.
I seriously doubt that.....it's more likely he never had any of the valuable pennies. Most of them were already picked out long before he even started his ''collection''
Honestly that is alot of money to me me and my mom olny get 700$ a month and our rent every month is 500$ plus electricity is 60$ so for me and my mom 5000$ is alot of money not that many people even get a 1000$ a month
That's why we are short on pennies, everybody's keeping them! My grandpa had a dresser drawer full of pennies. He said, "If you have pennies, you're never broke.
I feel bad for the dude. Theres alot of rare coins he could’ve cashed in but instead cashed in all those pennies for its actual value. 1 cent. He could’ve made millions.
He was also ripped off in the sense that the bank probably checked for the many rare key date coins easily worth hundreds or thousands by themselves. He could've earned way more if he got someone to check or he looked through them himself.
Banks are not in the business of collecting and determining the value of a coins. How did he get ripped off? If anything he made it a major pain in the ass for Bank employees to process. He should have taken to a coin dealer or even a metal scrap yard would have paid him more. That said. You can't assume he had many rare coins in his collection.
aLl ThAt FoR 5k? 5,000 is actually a good amount of money for a lot of ppl. Just cause you’re making more doesn’t mean belittle someone else’s profit. But y’all white folks can do that since y’all families is ths richest ones lol
Had my house robbed a few weeks ago.. Had a full water jug like his with pennies also.. Saved for 10 years.. Freaking Lowdown thiefs.. Was my damn neighbors..
Yeah, and guess who got the collector money for those ole old pennies, some of them possibly worth upward of $20K+ each? The entitiy that needed it the least: that's right, the bank...
He neglected all the value of rare pennies. It is surprising how quickly you can go through a 5 gallon jug of pennies to find the old designs and rare metal ones once you get in the swing of it. Probabaly one jug a day. A 2 week project at most for thousands of more extra dollars. He got ripped off.
I did the math, he had $300 in each Zephyrhills water jugs. If he saved nickels $1500 or 22,500 , dimes $3000 or 45,000 and the all might quarter $7,500 and if he had 15 bottles full a whopping $$$67,500 👀. I am way to bored
100% Steve dead on the penny, me and my buddy both said the same thing. No telling what was in there. It said he had been saving them for 45 years. I'm a million percent sure that there had to been a dimond in one of those 50,000 pennies. I think a person could probably examine all of those in about a month or 2
OMG! I'd love to have had the chance to look through them all. Even if it took me yrs. So many coins valued well over one cent. Sad no one got to rummage through em all.
4GUESTS not only the wheatbacks, but the real solid copper ones. Plus that government deal he passed up. Hmpf... Somebody should have had a talking to with this gent.
John Manrow Steel pennies were made in 1943 since copper wad needed for the war. They aren't that valuable, and are only worth a few cents in average condition. Some 1943 copper pennies however were made on accident and are considered extremely rare error coins. They go for 50k-1.8M depending on grade. Less than 10 of them were found and there may possibly be a few left out there. The problem with 1943 pennnies (and any other valueble coin) is that there are countless fakes out there meant to deceive people, making it very hard for you to find a legitimate one.
The first 1943 copper cent was sold in 1958 for more than $40,000. In 1996, another went for a whopping $82,500. But those sales pale in comparison with the latest: , a dealer in New Jersey sold his 1943 penny for a staggering $1.7 million.
cinerama62 what kind of idiot would buy a penny for that much.. I l know they're are rare, but there really is no point. Kudos to the people who sold their pennies for that much to idiots.
I worked in a used car yard in the early 70's a guy came in every day for a few weeks telling he was going to buy a Valiant we had for sale. One day he asked me to drive him to his apartment to collect the money for the purchase, l did and to my surprise, he had an entire large wardrobe filled to the brim with glass jars full of coins, $1250 worth of them which he had very carefully counted. It took quite a while to load all of them into the car and take to the local bank, given we had no auto machines it took forever for the staff to count the coins. Turns out he was accurate to the cent and drove away in his pride and joy......commitment to a cause
doubt it. 1943 was my mom birth year. She had a cooper 1943 saved, my father threw her collection outside the house. it is now buried under a subdivision in Puerto Rico. Last cooper 1943 sold at over a million dollars in an auction.
Not necessarily , i was handed down not 1 but 3 steel pennys from 1942(1) and 1943(2). They are only worth between $54-$89. The "famous" 1943 steel penny had a certain print on it that makes it worth thousands and a 1943 american coper penny is really sought after because they only minted so few(40) during that time (WW2).
I'm sure that total would have been way more if he sold the wheat pennies for their value instead of counting them as only 1 cent. Some have a value of over a few bucks to a few hundred dollars. Impressive none the less.
stamps briefmarken timbre gabriel.c.l The wheat penny is a classic iconic early 21st century American coin with a face value of 1 cent that was minted from 1909 to 1956. On a personal note we just love searching penny rolls forwheat and indian head pennies. This is what the definition of it is. But they say "one cent" on the back instead of having the white house or whatever building is in the back or the shield of the newer pennies. Some are worth thousands of dollars.
The morale of this story is that the penny isn't completely worthless. So, you can't purchase anything with just one penny, but a whole lot of pennies are worth a lot.

The copper melt value is worth 15.8k
illegal to melt coins for profit since 2006, let alone the expense of melting would only make you loose out on total profit having kept in perfect as can be condition as all pennies before 1983 are 88% or 95% at most, depend son year, knowing this percentage it is easy to evaluate the copper value alone
Nothing after 1980 or so is pure copper. Mostly zinc.
Most pennies up until sometime 1983 were 95% copper the rest zinc but still Illegal to melt for profit. Its still more profitable in its current state knowing the amount of copper content per year of minting, currently a 95% copper penny is worth three times face value. Some certain mintings are worth much much more.
I was told that copper is the metal to watch price on for the economy because of its use in manufacturing. Always wondered if true.
lol
45 years for $5000? Yawn. No thanks
Richard Johnson exactly. Maybe for one year but anything over one year it's a disappointment.
Richard Johnson I was expecting that he would get back $30,000 or a least $20,000 for 45 years of saving just $5,000 that would kinda be disappointing to me.
How hard is it to put pennies into a container every day when you get home?
Teri Shampo exactly. I’m doing it now.
Right
He could've had a single penny that would have been worth 100× what he got in cash in value
I seriously doubt that.....it's more likely he never had any of the valuable pennies. Most of them were already picked out long before he even started his ''collection''
anything is possible @EVAN ROCK
Coin collectors everywhere shaking their heads and heavy sighing.
We got clickbated. Lol 5k is NOT impressive at all. Not to mention the rare pennies that were amongst them that are probably worth way more by itself.
Senne Trenson yes old man is smart but stupid
Honestly that is alot of money to me me and my mom olny get 700$ a month and our rent every month is 500$ plus electricity is 60$ so for me and my mom 5000$ is alot of money not that many people even get a 1000$ a month
+Libs Speed Buids My boy, stop living off minimum wage.
Moore Julian your rude my mom can't work shes handicapped and I'm olny 13
Moore Julian XXX... like he says. rude!
45 years means he had some "rarities" in there...could be worth hundreds of thousands...
That's why we are short on pennies, everybody's keeping them! My grandpa had a dresser drawer full of pennies. He said, "If you have pennies, you're never broke.
I feel bad for the dude. Theres alot of rare coins he could’ve cashed in but instead cashed in all those pennies for its actual value. 1 cent. He could’ve made millions.
U
Why did i even click on this!
Aaron Unknown i don’t no
Aaron Unknown some unknown reason Aaron
Same
A penny for your thoughts.
Aaron Unknown my thoughts
He got ripped off😂😂😴
He was also ripped off in the sense that the bank probably checked for the many rare key date coins easily worth hundreds or thousands by themselves. He could've earned way more if he got someone to check or he looked through them himself.
Yeah, because it would be so easy to look through 500,000 pennies~! NOT
Igotsauce boy 1877 pennies worth $1000000 and I think he probably had it in his bunch
Why would you think that? Based on what? Do you have any concept of how rare those pennies are compared to how many in circulation?? Buy a clue.
Banks are not in the business of collecting and determining the value of a coins. How did he get ripped off? If anything he made it a major pain in the ass for Bank employees to process. He should have taken to a coin dealer or even a metal scrap yard would have paid him more. That said. You can't assume he had many rare coins in his collection.
Lol copper went up so much since then, and alot of those years were almost pure copper.
This is dumb
Very interesting, speaking of laughing all the way to the bank.😄😄😄
Silly he should have first checked for the rare coins . Some of them cost 100,000😡
Banks are thieves
Jane Kane are you stupid? Do you think he would like check the pennies 1 by 1 to see if they are rare
JanixGames i would
TheyCallMePizza that would have taken another 45 years smh
@@janilindberg5055 i definetely would, it could take a lot but i would 100%
All that for 5k??? 🤦♀️
Taylor Styles I know right? I make more than that in two months 😂
The Senate actually, I make 48k a year.
aLl ThAt FoR 5k? 5,000 is actually a good amount of money for a lot of ppl. Just cause you’re making more doesn’t mean belittle someone else’s profit. But y’all white folks can do that since y’all families is ths richest ones lol
Maolly, Tee, and Seven TV bringing race into the mix, icy?
Maolly, Tee, and Seven TV thats new.... someone using the race card on another... while being racist xD
Had my house robbed a few weeks ago..
Had a full water jug like his with pennies also..
Saved for 10 years..
Freaking Lowdown thiefs..
Was my damn neighbors..
Yeah, and guess who got the collector money for those ole old pennies, some of them possibly worth upward of $20K+ each? The entitiy that needed it the least: that's right, the bank...
Sad
He neglected all the value of rare pennies. It is surprising how quickly you can go through a 5 gallon jug of pennies to find the old designs and rare metal ones once you get in the swing of it. Probabaly one jug a day. A 2 week project at most for thousands of more extra dollars. He got ripped off.
I did the math, he had $300 in each Zephyrhills water jugs. If he saved nickels $1500 or 22,500 , dimes $3000 or 45,000 and the all might quarter $7,500 and if he had 15 bottles full a whopping $$$67,500 👀. I am way to bored
Rickey Bobby No your not your just brilliant😊
Or he could looked through the pennies for rare coins and have got much more than the 5000$.
100% Steve dead on the penny, me and my buddy both said the same thing. No telling what was in there. It said he had been saving them for 45 years. I'm a million percent sure that there had to been a dimond in one of those 50,000 pennies. I think a person could probably examine all of those in about a month or 2
I thought the same thing....saving all your change for 45 yrs!
Rickey Bobby lol😂. I can relate.
OMG! I'd love to have had the chance to look through them all. Even if it took me yrs. So many coins valued well over one cent. Sad no one got to rummage through em all.
He should sort his pennies he would be getting a lot more
Sarah Ng We don’t know he didn’t.
I thought it’s going to be around somewhere in $100,000-$10,000.
It bothers me that you wrote from higher to lower.
Mega SpaceJX lmao
$10k - $100k is a huge difference
Raven he most likely would've if he checked the pennies incase of a rare penny but he just dumped them in
Raven 100k is bigger than 10k, Ik you did it on purpose but hkhrosbdkx
He got royaly gypped ...those wheatbacks would have fetched a lot of money on eBay, especially any key dates.
no kidding
4GUESTS not only the wheatbacks, but the real solid copper ones. Plus that government deal he passed up. Hmpf... Somebody should have had a talking to with this gent.
Yep

Steel pennies were made in 1943 since copper wad needed for the war. They aren't that valuable, and are only worth a few cents in average condition. Some 1943 copper pennies however were made on accident and are considered extremely rare error coins. They go for 50k-1.8M depending on grade. Less than 10 of them were found and there may possibly be a few left out there. The problem with 1943 pennnies (and any other valueble coin) is that there are countless fakes out there meant to deceive people, making it very hard for you to find a legitimate one.
The copper weight is worth more
Great video!! But what song are you using?!
I wonder how many wheat pennies were in there.
The first 1943 copper cent was sold in 1958 for more than $40,000. In 1996, another went for a whopping $82,500. But those sales pale in comparison with the latest: , a dealer in New Jersey sold his 1943 penny for a staggering $1.7 million.
cinerama62 what kind of idiot would buy a penny for that much.. I l know they're are rare, but there really is no point. Kudos to the people who sold their pennies for that much to idiots.
The 1943 penny was made of steel. That's why it's so rare, and valued as a collector's item.
He should have put his initials on each penny. That would have been so amazing to receive.
I saved 65 grand in pennies and bought a small cabin. 😃
If you ever need to write an essay that last more than a page .. call this guy
5k in 45 years? Doesn’t seem worth it
TheSaulJohn I agree.
My family makes more than 5k in damn there a week
TheSaulJohn fuck no
KMY_YUDAH KING seems like he was trying. Going out of his way, breaking bills instead of using change, etc.
TheSaulJohn ikr
I worked in a used car yard in the early 70's a guy came in every day for a few weeks telling he was going to buy a Valiant we had for sale. One day he asked me to drive him to his apartment to collect the money for the purchase, l did and to my surprise, he had an entire large wardrobe filled to the brim with glass jars full of coins, $1250 worth of them which he had very carefully counted. It took quite a while to load all of them into the car and take to the local bank, given we had no auto machines it took forever for the staff to count the coins. Turns out he was accurate to the cent and drove away in his pride and joy......commitment to a cause
ALL THOSE PENNIES !!!!! NOOOOO !!!!!!
I WISH I COULD HAVE SEARCHED THEM. 😣
I wonder how many rare coins were in there. Probably would have been worth even more.
I know he had some incredibly rare and valuable pennies in that stash
Who else just watched the video to know how much were the pennies worth?
would there have been some other reason really
He can supply an entire bank for years with those pennies.
This is a true testament "A penny saved is a penny earned"!!!
I bet he had a 1943 copper penny (worth thousands of dollars) or two.
doubt it. 1943 was my mom birth year. She had a cooper 1943 saved, my father threw her collection outside the house. it is now buried under a subdivision in Puerto Rico. Last cooper 1943 sold at over a million dollars in an auction.
I have over 20 1943 steel pennies; what's valuable is the very rare 1944 steel penny.
*penny
A copper 1943 is worth $1M: it was supposed to have been made of steel.
Not necessarily , i was handed down not 1 but 3 steel pennys from 1942(1) and 1943(2). They are only worth between $54-$89. The "famous" 1943 steel penny had a certain print on it that makes it worth thousands and a 1943 american coper penny is really sought after because they only minted so few(40) during that time (WW2).
Now thats a smart move. 2 Thumbs Up to that man 👍👍
This was my teacher in school great man the wisest person you’ll meet
Could you imagine how much more money he would have had if he saved all coins not just pennies?
I love this! I'm 50 and recently started doing this. It's actually fun!! I wish I'd started collecting when I was younger 🌻
Good for you man
Thank you for releasing old and valuable coins back in circulation for us Coin roll hunters to find
I'm sure that total would have been way more if he sold the wheat pennies for their value instead of counting them as only 1 cent. Some have a value of over a few bucks to a few hundred dollars. Impressive none the less.
Smart but i dought anyone wants to search through thousands of pennies
Kid Genius I would 😂😂😂
Tommyxp420 what is a wheat penni
Kid Genius I would have lol.
stamps briefmarken timbre gabriel.c.l The wheat penny is a classic iconic early 21st century American coin with a face value of 1 cent that was minted from 1909 to 1956. On a personal note we just love searching penny rolls forwheat and indian head pennies. This is what the definition of it is. But they say "one cent" on the back instead of having the white house or whatever building is in the back or the shield of the newer pennies. Some are worth thousands of dollars.
The copper pennies are now worth 3 cents each, minimum.
The morale of this story is that the penny isn't completely worthless. So, you can't purchase anything with just one penny, but a whole lot of pennies are worth a lot.
i miss the wheat ones. in the early 70's i would play the las vegas slots and those dollars that came out were pure silver, thank you david london
Im sure he had a few rare pennies in there worth more than 5k by themselves.
Quiet Truth
Omg that’s what I was thinking
Quiet Truth thinking of that, i sometimes search through my coins and seeing if they could make me rich by rare ones
He's the reason we had a coin shortage last year.
😆😆😆
🤣🤯😂👏
A penny saved is a penny found….under the sofa cushion
