It was the most mysterious Qumran text, written on a copper scroll and broken in two. It discusses sixty-four locations where significant quantities of gold, silver, coins, scrolls, and priest garments were hidden. Locations are said to be under an architectural or natural structure such as a cave, cistern, monument, etc. It also discusses the hiding place of that list. The treasures, however, were never found. If the treasures were real they may have been recovered or ransacked a long time ago. The copper scroll presented a serious problem. It was impossible to unroll them. The two copper scrolls, property of the Jordan Government were loaned to the University of Manchester. In February, 1956 they were dissected and the inscriptions were deciphered. “The method adopted was the passing of a spindle through the scrolls, then spraying them with aircraft glue and baking them hard, which allowed them to be sawed by an exceedingly fine circular saw across their rolled-up length (which would be their width, if unrolled), and the resulting strips were available to be photographed.” (Davies, 18). It was a very long and tedious process, but the contents of the scroll were too important. The Copper Scrolls were written in Mishnaic Hebrew the “earliest known extensive text in that dialect.” (Zeitlin). Engraving on copper required experience and labor. Only governments engraved documents on copper, so it is believed the people found this document to be highly important and of value.

I represented this sentimental value by making some of the coins hearts. Second, my collection is valuable. This is means it can be used in an emergency situation or just to show off.

Which it is but the penny has more than the economic value it exemplifies the history of the U.S. In source G, Pennies, it shows the two types of pennies one from the past around 1793 and one from the present.
