Rare 1943 Steel Wheat Pennie make an offer OBO
Yeah, on a side note, I got a wheat back penny in change just a couple days ago. Not one of the steel ones but they're still circulating.
I think they circulate more than other currency because they tend to stay in civilian hands. Most people aren't turning their wheat pennies into banks. I don't know what establishments do with them. The bank pulls old notes, but do they pull old pennies? I think that Penny is worth about .45 cents.
I read that Old Coins are not destroyed unless they are so worn or mutilated they don't work in a counting machine.
That makes sense.
Also I'm pretty sure "establishments" what ever that means as well as people do indeed turn them in to banks.
Like when you have a large jug full of pennies what else do you do with them?
When I married my wife she worked at a bank. I had her bring big bags of coins home so I could sort through and keep all the old ones.
