Default Pennies for battery bars

I wass tinking of way to save a few $$$ insembling my batterery packs.
So took some pennies and cut hem into 3rds. I used th center 1/3 as a batterery bar because real copper used in pennies. Not cheap plated stuff used in store bought batterery bars. I only use old pennies, one was 1909 vdb.
Rhen I mix up some JB weld and stuck it to he batterery post. JB weld is real metal in it you know. When the bars were done, I use some elecricral tape and warpped it real tight around the batteryies, aboat 10 times, to hold wires to my batteryies.
I not race with this yet, but I think it make my car go at least 80 miles hours. Wha t yuo guys tink.
