I was thinking abput it to but the banks tell me after feb 4 they will not give them out anymore. its a 1 way trip to the mint from the bank, therby cutting off my supply. To be honest its kind of fun and addictive so its really no trouble. I have also made some sets of mint coins that i may sell in 10 years when nobody has pennies anymore. I did however build a wire stripper that is basically a chunk of 2x4 with different size holes in it. i tapped a razor blade through the wood just till it poked thru the holes. Then i just feed the wire thru the hole an it cuts the insulation. Then peel it off.
