Message	Start going through your pennies, looking at the dates. Up until 1981, they were still copper :-) I should easily have enough pennies to make a couple sets of ic's. When I was a kid, I saved all of the 81 & older pennies, & I still have them. I have a Capt Morgan 1.75 bottle ful of them, + part of a 2nd bottle.
