I hardly ever see wheat pennies anymore. I remember when they were common. I guess I am going to start saving pre-1982 pennies for copper content.

Yes ma'am... and you are not alone.
This is a growing trend.

Re: Coins
If we all totally stopped spending money/currency of all forms that is incirculation, the value would rise.

How's that?
Supply and demand drive currencies as well. Why would a sudden disappearance of all demand drive up the value?

I did not find a sequel to Loose Coins.

Hmmm...I may have to check Amazon for a cheap used copy of that Rex Sstout bibliography. I loved Rex Stout books when I was younger. I read all of the Nero Wolfe ones.
Now that this thread has been properly hijacked into a book thread here is a bit of author trivia. As a teen I loved Andre Norton science fiction books. Then a year or two ago I found out that she was actually living in my little town outside of Nashville and had just died at the age of 91. I would have loved to have met her.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

I met Wilson Rawls from Where the Red Fern Grows. I have an autographed copy.
