Well, not bad, but I still have lots of work to do. Those pennies sure add up.

How many pennies to buy a gold coin. I like that idea.

 

[John-Edmonton]

It takes at least 4,ooo pennies ($40.00) to get a gold coin, usually about 1/10 ounce. But, there is a lot of variety out there. Not all gold coins are 999.9% gold, so it is a lot of fun shopping.

Thanks, I like the idea. I might just do that with my found money. I have about $75 since May (when I got my detector) in mixed coins.

Looks like my pile, although I have jars and cans of pennies all over the house that need to be tumbled. Keep working on it and that gold coin will appear. Also, what are gold coins costing now?

Yeah you got to watch for those gold plated ones.

Yeah Johnny must have good knees. If I done that many knee bends I'd be in a wheel chair.

$40.00 and up, depending on their gold content, weight, rarity, etc.

 

[awhitster]

Thanks. Do you get them online or thru a coin dealer?

And if I remember correctly, it was just under $50.00.
