I like that you are mentioning the NUMBER of miners. Cmon everyone, step up! Even if you're only setting back a roll of pennies a week.

I like this thread. But you should also add a percent of the total amount of copper cents minted. Unless there are Canadian people posting too.

The total mintage is 166,095,066,883 (incl 1982 mintage at 50%). So we mine 0,022391996% per year so far.

Please note that my spreadsheet had a formula problem, some cells were pointing at Cdn penny weights as opposed to US ones. So we exceed the 50,000lbs!!!!
