Did he throw in a piece of candy, too? I thought I had heard of one collector that did put some rare coins(not that rare duh!) into circulation so an average Joe's might have a chance to find one. Do they still even make pennies from copper or from clink metal?

Since 1983 pennies have been made of zinc, with a thin copper coating.

That is a rare find but there are some Gold Coins that are worth several million.

That's a hell of a difference from just a single penny lol. Yesterday, it was just a penny for my thoughts....and today over a million dollars. I wonder what tomorrow will bring lol
