PENNIES FROM HEAVEN
A family discovered more than one million pennies while cleaning out their late father's home in Los Angeles, and the valuation could be about one million dollars. Now the standard value for one million pennies is $10,000, but these copper pennies were made before World War ll. The U.S. started making pennies out of zinc-covered steel in 1943 when copper was needed for the war. The pennies were found in boxes, crates and sacks.
