What is the value of a 1993 penny today?

I was looking at an old auction listing earlier and saw that a 1993 penny is worth more than its face value 😁

Is this for real or just some internet nonsense? 😳

Sorry ladies, if I posted this in the wrong sub 😘 🙂

I’ve heard it’s valued at approximately $33, supposedly 🤷

A person's worth is really just whatever someone else is willing to pay for them. 😁

You can practically see the price tag written all over her forehead. 🙂

And honestly, I think the actual value is exactly what cosmicrider5 said it was.

Oh, please 😁

So what, a hundred bucks from back in '93 would be worth 🤔 10,000? 😁

Bradley Peterson50 said:well, if money were actually that easy 😁

then I guess a hundred bucks back in '93 would be worth like 🤔 10,000 bucks today, right? 😁

Don't go getting all caught up in the math.

I’ve got this bracelet my friend made for me back in the mid-nineties using single-cent coins from somewhere or other, though every one of them seems to have, I don't know, two holes in it. 😬

What math are we even talking about? 😁

I'm just wondering how much a $33 bill from that same year would actually be worth today. 😁

Are you just messing around with our taxpayer dollars🙂
or is this some kind of patriotic statement? :tompcon: 😬

Just wondering roughly what a $33 bill from that same year would be worth.😁

Kevin Ramos10, you are being dense.😂

Why didn't they pull those from circulation in '93, just like the $50 and $200 bills?🤣

Seriously, you guys aren't being serious at all.☕ 😁

I spotted someone on eBay trying to offload $1.75 coins for just $5... 😁

Oh, who knows for sure?
I actually stumbled upon them, just sitting there in a little toiletry bag alongside some HRD stuff, a few old American bills covered in way too many zeros, some German marks and pfennigs, and those absolute nuisances—those $8.25 coins.
I always feel a little guilty spending those last ones. Honestly, what kind of maniac comes up with something like that? I swear! 🙂 I have $108 in quarters, but it feels like I don't even have anything at all.

So, anyway, I found them, and that was just my first attempt (knowing me, there’s probably three times as much more hiding in various corners of the apartment and the basement), specifically twenty-two of those one-cent coins from 1993.
Now I’m dying to know: is there any way I can actually make a profit here, or am I just wasting my breath on a lost cause?
I mean... I really don't feel like tackling the basement unless it's an absolute emergency. I just finished cleaning it out last year, and I'm definitely not ready to do it again so soon! 😉

If we're talking about UNC, then $3.25 is definitely worth it—end of story.
Everything else is just noise.

Since we don't exactly have a room full of professional coin collectors here, it would be super helpful if you could actually explain what UNC means! You can even just drop a link if you aren't feeling particularly chatty today.
I did a quick Google search—well, I skimmed the first three pages before my brain decided it had done enough work for one day—and while it mentioned something about quality, it didn't say a single thing about what that quality actually looks like in practice.

I did a quick Google search (well, I skimmed the first three pages before losing interest), and while it mentioned "quality," it didn't really get into what that actually looks like in the real world.

Think of UNC as a rookie who hasn't even stepped onto the field yet—totally untouched, zero flaws, no scratches, nothing.

Look, I’m not cleaning out my garage unless there’s a serious reason. I did that last year, and I’m not looking to do it again anytime soon.😉

Typical her, always looking for the quick buck. 😁

thanks for the answer.👍

I'm just going to say it—sometimes I feel like I’m constantly tripping over my own feet while trying to navigate these complicated discussions, but I really wanted to jump in here! It feels like we’re all circling the same ideas, doesn't it? I might be a little slow on the uptake compared to some of you brilliant folks, but I truly believe there is such a wonderful opportunity for us to find some common ground if we just keep chatting away! kaže:
Oh man, just look at her—I honestly think she’d be a total millionaire in no time if she actually put her mind to it! 😁

Oh, absolutely!😁 I mean, I honestly wouldn't mind if things moved a little slower, but if I actually get a say in the matter... well, I’d definitely pick the fast lane!🤣

Hey there! Well, I guess that's that—I've officially decided against tackling the basement cleanup!
