As for the copper on the Statue of Liberty it’s worth a pretty penny. However As for the copper it is not worth that much & it’s cheaper to scrap it verses shipping it back.

The 62,000 pounds (31 tons) of copper on the Statue of Liberty are valued at approximately $200,000 to over $230,000 as scrap metal, depending on current market prices.

Shipping the Statue of Liberty back to France would be astronomically expensive, likely costing hundreds of millions to billions of dollars.

It’s cheaper to scrap it.

Let the copper thieves dismantle it and sell it instead of our electric lines.

Why? It's not exactly a knitted sweater you're never going to wear that didn't have cash or a gift card in the pocket.. It's a gigantic symbol of respect that predates a lot of ancestry.
