I have been separating by hand using dates and a small scale. 3.1 grams for copper any thing less is zinc. I wish I had one of those? machines!

The tube I include with teh Penny Miser is? plexiglas. It is 6″ long 1″ OD, 7/8″ ID and holds a dollar. 34 pennies per inch. At 3000 coin per hour, it takes 2 minutes to run that dollar. You at anytime as it’s running. Now… You can get a longer tube but it will add wear to the penny wheel (heavier stack of pennies) and if a penny goes down sideways and jams the tube (not very often), it won’t be as as quick and easy to clear as it is now… The holes would need to be enlarged for halves

Excellent device. Do you have an optimum number? of coins you can put in the tube to sort? (I.e. if too many does the machine stop due to shear weight?) Could you devise something to help people sort through half dollars to find silver ones?

not everyone can hear the ringing sound. I have demonstrated this technique to more than a few people who are unable to notice to ringing of copper cents. If a copper cent is heavily circulated and worn making it weigh less than 3.1 g, how does this machine sort such a worn copper cent??

You are absolutely right. Copper rings like a bell and zinc makes a thud. That’s how I use to do it. This machine does it a lot quicker so if you have $30.00 in pennies to sort through, you’re? done in an hour without searching for the one that bounced off the coffee table and under the sofa.

Dudes, cool machine – but yer all over thinkin’ it. ***If you haven’t yet, do what I do – TRY THE “DING” TEST. Copper pennies make a distinctive “Ringing sound” when bounced on? a wood floor or table. Zinc pennies do not. Easy. No need to look at dates. Give it a try. Oh, and but some silver too! – SGT out.
