Copper is currently worth around $7/Kg, which is about double face value for decimal coins.

No, its not cheap.

Talk to your local banks, and see if they have any "mutes" (mutilated coins and notes, which includes copper, silver, gold coins). Most would be only too happy to sell them to you, and a few will even GIVE copper to you, because they're a nuisance. Plus you might pick up paper notes, or all sorts of treasures this way.

Yeah, just ask Troutski about NCLT packaging. Others may salivate over it, he just throws it in the bin. :diablo:

if you live in an older type town perhaps garage sales might be of interest, never know when a deceased estate is being garage saled and they may have someone who had jars and jars of coin, my grandfather had 50+ Kgs of copper coins when he died, I never knew about it, my gold digging aunty took it to the bank at face value. ....................MORON.
