They wanted to clean the house, but they discovered the ‘hidden treasure’

In a bizarre incident, an American couple discovered more than a million copper pence hidden in a corner of the house while they were doing their annual cleaning work.

John Reyes was helping his wife, Elizabeth, clean up the house that belonged to her father, when they discovered more than a million copper pence hidden in the basement.
The pennies were kept inside suitcases with the names of some banks that Reyes said he had not heard of or no longer existed.

Pennies were initially made of pure copper until the American Mint converted to zinc-coated steel in 1943.
“Elizabeth’s father probably began collecting pennies once the United States began switching from copper to zinc,” Reyes told the Los Angeles Times.

After making sure that pennies are really made of copper, it looks like their value will be exorbitant.
The chairman of that group is offered for sale, but all offers were made to him to buy part of it, but he refuses to want to sell it as a whole.
