There's a scrapyard right by my hometown with a fancy billboard, like the ones for the lottery that have the number displays. It's just for showing copper prices, bright copper, copper #1 and copper #2. There's so much money in it they can afford to advertise now.

The price of copper is not extraordinarily high.

I couldn’t immediately see the price not adjusted for inflation. If copper has held it’s value better than other proceeds of crime that could still make it more attractive.
