Starting around 1950, my mother would go to the bank every year and buy 100 new pennies. I guess she thought they would be worth something some day. But, when she died, I found out that they really weren't worth much more than one cent each. She did have about 50 silver dollars from the early 1920's that were worth about $35 each.
