Chile, Peru and the US have free trade agreements. I believe those three maybe the largest suppliers? If not US maybe be 4th or 5th.

This being a gun forum, I thought he was referring to Jeff Cooper.

Any pre 1982 penny is worth 3 times the face value in copper. Keep the post 82's in circulation or just round off to the next higher nickel.

Let's not downgrade the thread.
Cooper or Copper?
I believe Alton is correct, along with lead. China has been known, for at least 20 years, to be buying most scrap copper on the market. Since that is a strategic metal I encourage congress to put a stopper on this metal export.

So did I I clicked on it cause I read Mini Coopers
Think this may have a slight impact on ammo prices but I may be wrong.
Copper is, of course, used in nearly all munitions production. We import copper to make artillery rounds, missles, mines and bombs, not to mention small arms ammunition. Copper is also critical for anything electric. It’s the cheapest good conductor there is. And it’s all imported.
They tried aluminum, which is cheaper, but it’s not nearly as good or useful conductor.
Prices of copper are at an all time high already - $5.51 per pound. And copper thieves have been very active the last year or so. Raiding phone company cable and building suppliers.
