Will Copper be the new Gold?

How did they invent copper wire? Two jews fighting over a penny.

Please don't put racist remarks on my post.

Lead will be.

Ha ha...we're not in a Mad Max world ...yet.

Copper may be the next silver in time, That is if silver ever takes off, but I don't think copper will ever be the next gold.
Copper is about 3.96 a Pound
Silver is about 40.71 an Ounce
Gold is about 1824.00 an Ounce
So copper has a long way to go!

Helium is

The stuff is near running out, therefore what's left will be worth quite a lot.. think of all those balloons the stuff is wasted on!

if you cant tell a chosen form a nonchosen then they are not a race, race being readily identifyable and unique physical charactoristics, so, not a race in the scientific sense,
Still, funny and probably true

Well, I think silver will break out soon.

I'm a Jew and I thought that was hilarious.

Copper will never be the new gold, gold will stay gold, and copper will stay copper. It works like this copper is NEEDED for industry, silver is NEEDED for technology, gold (or the appearance of such) is NEEDED for international trade and finance. These fundamentals will probably not change until gold and silver can be manufactured cheaper then recovered from the earth. I don't think that will happen for a while, at least 50-100 years, maybe much longer.

And US nickels are 75% copper.

Did you hear about how the Grand Canyon formed?

I save all my pre 1983 pennies and all my nickles.

Good idea.

no nickle will as soon as the war really gets kicken. Need nickle to build fighter aircraft.... nickle new gold...

Isnt there too much copper in the world compared to silver and gold?

Not very efficient to haul 100s of pounds copper to go shopping. Or even to store wealth.

NO! WHa happen whahappen??? Dime dropped into a steam?

bottom line if chicks will fkkk you to have it, it's valuable.
That's why shiney pretty things were money

I use it to store wealth, but then again I'm a Jew. Why would I want to drag my wealth to the grocery store?

True story. Although there are other reasons as well.

I gotta see the logic here.
My neighbor used to say "You gals are sitting on a gold mine."
Offensive but true.
We can't sell pennies for a decent price yet, that is pretty frustrating, and they are opening mining eveywhere, not sure about saving copper!

Nah, it's pretty much whatever they want.

Copper will ALWAYS be valuable. It's impossible to approach anything resembling an industrial society without it. China wishes to bring electricity
To at least half a billion folks, this would require most of the remaining copper available for recovery. I for one am SURE about saving copper.

Short answer: No.

The logic is that everything men do is to travel that 6 inches into Virginia over and over, trying different routes, whatever.
If it wasnt for that bit there would be no money and we wouldnt bother even making the acquaintance.
Dont hate the messenger

Doesn't hurt to have some copper unfortunately copper bullion is extremely overpriced due to no demand for it.

just who is this Will Copper, and why do you think he is gold?

B.A. Baracus is gonna say " Stay away from my Led and Copper neckchains fool!!'

Ok, how?

WEll, if copper isn't valuable, then why are people breaking into older homes that are for sale and ripping out the copper pipes. 4 times this summer in a small town north of here, power relay stations were broken into and the copper wiring was stolen. Power out in all cases for day. Never caught the buggers who did it

it starts with the letter 'R'
