if you take a pre-1982 penny... and copper goes to over $1.50 a lb... then the penny is worth more by weight.... so you can melt a pound of pennies and sell for more than 1.50....(it takes 3 rolls of pennies to make a pound)

Yeah sure. The central banks do push gold around and for good reason (from their perspective). But they can only do this for so long. I don't usually share this sort of information, but I have been accumulating both gold and silver, the metals and decent producer equities for some number of years now. I did this especially when we were treating gold as a has-been commodity. So i have been able to make a nice chunk of change on these metals even though they have not performed as I have expected (I expected a silver boom long ago that has not happened. But I think it will come, with gold following. and the CB's will not be able to touch it.)
