I knew some cleaver arse would bring that up :D

I thought about it, but I'm not cutting pennies am I? So no wasted material for the equation....

Nice try, :D

I saw 9 Black Sabbath LP's for sale on eBay for £4.82.

Thats a £4.82 for a lot of heavy metal.

(See what I did there?)

(I'm guessing the size of a 1p coin as I don't have one !!)
costs around £35.

Say a penny is 3mm thick?
(guessing again, but will be close enough)

You would get 333.333333333 pennies to the meter,

Value of pennies £3.33, value of brass £35.00


Time to start weighing in those pennies methinks, cept it's illegal.
mmmmmm what you cuttin those pennies with Darren,? cos I want one. Your cutter has a kerf of zero...

back to reality, means the mint is running at a colossal loss, unless the bank of england pays them about 4p for every 1p minted....go figure

That's why they changed "copper" coinage from a bronze alloy to copper plated steel. :)

And steel is £12 a ton at the moment.

May have been worth weighing them in a month or 2 ago :)
