If you count in inflation over the years you have those pennies in your closet, this would make barely any sense. Don't understand why people believe in that besides considering this some sort of an hobby, like collecting other old currencies, stamps, historic cars, and other historic stuff. Yes you could get lucky and have this one in a million penny, art work, car which was undervalued at first glance. Remember that photograph of Billy the Kid, or so that was sold at a junk yard sale? But you should not count on this as an investment. It is a hobby and you may be the lucky person but 99.9999% will not be that lucky person.
