Yes there is a market for copper rounds, I believe it would be considered a semi PM just as there are semi precious stones. The market is down partly because Japan stopped buying, and Turkey and china stopped building.



If the SHTF then I believe copper will become a sort of coinage as every one recognises it, also copper can be made into many kinds of tools with out much effort or sophisticated equipment. I can be almost as hard as steel if treated the right way.

every one cant make a steel axe or knife but most any one can make either out of copper.
