Americans will baulk, but transactions should be recorded and require photo ID if you're recycling more than 1KG of Copper or any amount of Platinum.
In my state (WA), it is required. Some sketchy scrapyards probably don't give a shit though. Also, I'm pretty sure that, at least in my county (but it may be state-wide) any amount of copper requires a photo ID and entry into a database.
I totally agree with these restrictions, but wanted to add those details.
My state requires ID (I'm unsure if there's a max you can give without it, but I brought like $50 and needed ID) and they're also required to mail a check instead of giving cash on the spot. I imagine that helps deter some people from trying to get a quick payday.
Already required for any amount in my state.
