How to Turn Pennies Into Dollars $$$ - Penny Melting Coin Casting copper & Zinc 

"Never ever breathe in the toxic smoke" Sage words to live by.

I love the huge pile of pirate treasure at the end bro props!

I started pouring my own custom copper bars. They weigh about 2.5 pounds each. I will definitely make a video to show you. They come out awesome! Pouring into petrobond sand is so much better than graphite molds.

That's awesome! I love how much detail preserved there. Also that was quite a lot of smoke!

They didn't come out terrible considering you did it way back in June 2017. 👍

Amazing project!

Totally illegal to destroy us coins but my local museum has a machine that will smash a penny flat and imprint a different design on it for the mere cost of 50 cents. I think its hilarious that a city building encourages you to commit a federal crime for such a low cost.

I just finished sorting 3000 Canadian and US pennies. Got the Can. seperated for the coppers but still need to revisit the US for poss keepers. I need to get a bit more heat happening to deal with the zinc ones. My little furnace is great for the coppers though. This is great. I am still looking for your furnace build.

You have some tumbleweed in your furnace.

Another great video BD! You rock bro!

Thanks for a great video. I like your channel. Makes me want to melt stuff and cast a few things. I love metal and fire so melting metal is like the ultimate satisfaction.

Matey, Love you Very Much, May God bless you with more❣️

Was the copper in the dross you skimmed off? If so can you recover some of it? Great vid!

I love your videos.

lol iv'e been watching ur channel for so long and iv'e been looking for a vid of penny melting for so long and look who and what i found

Another great video bruh

Nice real nice his treasure room

New intro better then last 👍👍

I’m from the future , you have come a long way my son

Hello ! I enjoy every Video you make. The Quality of your Video is damm good ! I'am from Germany and look nearly every Video you make, you make the best Melting Videos i've ever seen!

A question. Sorry if I'm asking a stupid question. How is nickel separated from copper?

How do you get coin molds to make the coins

it's like Arizona in there on the left, 0:51

Awesome!

Just looking back ... now we have a shelf 💪🏾💪🏾🍻

It looks like your a rich guy with all that treasure 👑💰💎

How long does it take to melt a roll of pennies and how hot do you need to get it?

nice video. From description and video it is a nice way to show the difference in material used for molding. Good to know. Thanks. #BigstackD

Sweet! I would get arrested if I tried that here! lol

Amazing

doyou make $ on the positive side after you factor in the fuel (torch)and the chemicals?

Hey brother, hoping you could help me out. I just built my own furnace today in hopes to melt some scrap cartridge brass (that isn't reloadable any more), but it didn't turn out good at all. Not a single brass casing melted....but I'm not sure why. Well, obviously it didn't get hot enough, but I cant understand why. What I did is took plaster of paris and sand and filled up a 5 gallon bucket for the outside perimeter of the foundry. Not a traditional 5 gallon, this one was shorter and wider. Then, I used a typical cylindrical bathroom waste basket to shape the inside of the furnace. It had a good thick wall around the inner and outer portions, and also had good depth. I made the lid out of a standard 5 gallon bucket (the mouth end) again using the plaster of paris and sand. The lid was about 3-4" thick, and I used a soda can for the ventilation hole. I used a 1"x24" steel pipe with a coupling, then a 24" PVC pipe, and hooked up an air compressor out of an air mattress. I loaded It up with charcoal and turned on the air and it seemed like the heat was screamin hot. Put the brass in, and it didn't melt. I tried for over an hour...adding in new charcoal, plugging up the ventilation hole thinking it was too big...everything. I don't know how to fix it at this point.

My friend almost was put in the hospital by melting zinc at home. He stayed away from the smoke and cast outside but still got sick. Throwing up and headaches.

do you sell then/? coins ?

What type of sand are you casting into?

Entertaining as always - just don't go melting AU 2 cent coins, some of them can be quite rare (1968 error coin) - liked the newest intro too mate.

Is it financially viable to stockpile zinc?

Did you pay with it?

How many pennies does it take to fill up a dollar coin?

How did you get American Pennies

did you separate the copper from the zinc? if so... how?

if you are in Australia how did you get all this American money I can't even find one of those dollars anywhrre

Will commenting on all 250+ vids get me a solid chance in the giveaway? I love your videos 😁😎. Ingot is my favorite pupper on the tubes!

Are US coins easy to find in Australia? Why did one dollar come out a lot nicer than the other one?

Nice

Where'd the copper go?

Before the shelf!!

Humble beginnings

Is that legal?

Just a quick one eh!! 👌🍻

Was this before a law against melting coins??

Good on you for helping to combat inflation lol

isn't it a federal crime to melt pennies

Three more days from the date this was made is my birthday

bigstackD, quick question, is this in any way legal?

I was the 1000th like 🤗

1:55 Looks like the Xerxes coins from 300!

I want to learn how to do this sooooo bad

should try casting these in plaster of paris for a cleaner look

Nice new intro! You should stick with it for a while ;)

No wonder they say there's no monetary worth in melting pennies for their copper, they're mostly zinc!

How did you not get arrestee releasing video evidence of this

Very cool vid. Can you melt nickel

0:58 Bro just made fucking plasma

Did some 2019 pennies they had sand and rocks in them it definitely looked like it

So something along the lines of misdemeanor counterfeiting? 😅

This seems like it’s illegal af. And you posted it publicly? Bad-Ass.

Its a good thing your in Australia cause you'd be arrested in America. Great videos though

Heap of pennies turned into less that those pennies are worth. Lol 2017 metals live metal melt value. Lol

Loojs like you have a pile of chocolate coins lmao

As soon as I clicked on the video I got a call from an unknown caller... They hung up after a few seconds.

hello from 2020

Got about 60$ bucks in the scrap Yard

I can send you some American pennies pre 82 so there’re 95 copper

why do you have american pennies!

Make a new subscriber plaque for 4000 or 5000 subscribers! Though make it out of something more interesting such as aluminum or brass. Good luck with your future projects!!

thats illigal so, ima try it

isn´t this quite illegal?

your zinc was too hot :) It is hard to melt zinc in a blast furnace without getting a bunch of dross and fuming. I have heard of people melting it on a hot plate, I use a natural draft smelter which heats it up much more slowly. Having seen your video I now want to cast a coin!

Try them in a vending machine for the true test

You could have probably just melted it with a torch to avoid over heating it

Isn't it a federal crime to make coins

Those are USA coins. I’m in Canada.

here to win giveaway

Welcome to FBI watch list

Ive melted pennys before.

This is illegal in the United states, correct?

s t o n k s

You only melt the ones before 83 then its all copper

Yo Big "D" I subbed to this channel hope you don't mind.

isn't this super illegal?

I thought this was illegal.

Why not use 59-82 90% pennys, run to the bank, get 10 bucks worth of pennys, sort through and take the 59-82 pennys out.

ITS A FEDERAL CRIME TO DEFACE US CURRENCY(assuming your in the us and that is us currency)

1982 pennies are copper not zinc just fyi

Why do you have so much bronze?

I expect the Americans sent you a bill for the destruction of government property. They have to recover all the money they can.

It's illegal to melt coin currency in the United States

but... isn’t that illegal🤔

dude, the government gets pissed off at what your doing here. I think they don't like the part where you cast them in the form of a US coin. that's the no, no line in dealing with money.
