Because they are face value, they have no copper content. Mistero…can you find a bank to drop them on? They would surely hate you, just try to go to a branch you’ll never use again. LOL. Or maybe use Coinstar and get a gift certificate so you don’t have to pay the almost 10% fee? Just a few thoughts. ---

to be more specific: It was the coinage act of 1965, not the previous Title 31 (Money and Finance), Subtitle IV (Money), Chapter 51 (Coins and Currency), Subchapter I (Monetary System), Section 5103 (Legal Tender) of the United States Code states: United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues I paid a 250$ ticket with pennies, pic related just outside the clerks office.

Was there a reason you decided to pay in pennies? Make it more difficult for them or what not? Man if that’s $250 I’d hate to see $20k in pennies. Gotta be a PITA to move them all. ---
