Pennies ain't what it used to be...
Since 1982 Pennies have been 97.5% zinc which melts at ~787ºF vs copper which melts at 1,982ºF

1982 seems to have a recurring theme...what a COINcidence. Hope you "cents" of humor isn't "broke".

[Mr. Bojangles]

red X's for me.

I have about 25 pounds of change. I bet I have an old penny somewhere.

Man for being so simple these stoves are great. boil water in just a couple of minutes

 

[scap99]

Ain't nothing there when I look.
Just empty posts.

 

[AKM]

maybe the pictures are too big ....

 

[scap99]

Now that would be hysterical.
Pics of a pocket stove are too big....lol

 

[AKM]

Can you see them now? lol

 

[matefrio]

Yep!

You need a pre 1982 penny. Those will be made of pure copper not like that zink one.

 

[AKM]
