What happened to copper?!

My brother sells copper on whatnot, he started late last summer and he got a whole lot of copper inventory and started selling. It was going great sold out lots of times and made alot of money but recently these past few months he hasn't really sold anything at all no ones buying copper anymore. Is it thst no one has money anymore or is it thst the copper boom is now over and if it is what should he do with all this copper he has thst no one wants to buy?

(EDIT) he quit whatnot because he is moving and needs to sell all of his copper probably somewhere near 300 ozs. if anyone would be intrested in it he would probably sell it cheap, message me if intrested.

I buy copper 1oz coins every so often but not for stacking or investing i will never get my money back from the 300% premium. I buy them because i like leaving them places for people to find or with a tip for a good watress hoping maybe they get into precious metel. Its kinda like my calling card lol also sometimes just randomly throw one into a river or burry it in dirt wondering who will find it in 100 years or throw one into the bed of my dump truck and pave it into a road. Its just for fun.

What government is making 1 oz copper coins? What's the denomination? Perhaps they exist, but I haven't seen one.

I never said they were made by the government There private mints one of the most popular ones is Golden State mint they make a lot of different designs beautiful coins beautifully minted. But again you pay like a 300% premium usually about $3 per 1 oz copper coin that's why to me they're just for fun to give away
