I'd love to see it. As I keep saying, our current coin denominations are obsolete. But the fact is, change itself is becoming obsolete. For a...
Hey, we could go on Niven's Roentgen Standard, and then your coins would dry themselves off -- in fact, they'd do so MORE quickly if you just...
And to get back to your original question, "what is the government doing about [the excessive cost of making nickels]"... I think the direct...
Get the right lobbyists behind it, and that won't matter. Just look at the amazing self-destructing zinc cents. The people forcing decisions on...
For good reason, I think. It would be much harder to strike, given its relative hardness and brittleness. BTW, welcome to CoinTalk!
Looks pretty much "flat and shelf-like" to me...?
Of course, if The Grid Goes Down, it's probably bad news for that app that you need to use to look up settings for your coins.

Joking aside, I've got a couple of (non-coin) items that I'd gladly pay $5 to have analyzed. Given the high cost of the equipment, I think that's...
Save your money instead. Once you've paid $5 each for the first 4000 or so coins, you might as well have bought your own XRF. :rolleyes:
Okay, after three attempts at drafting a post about Jackson's likely opinions on any of our recent leadership, my sense of self-preservation is...
I appreciate the honesty of the images showing the sandpapery fake "cameo" texture. But I sure wish the Mint would use a better technique.
Not much to add to what others have said. Verdi-Care might be able to take off the deposits, although that coin's far enough gone that I'm not...
Liar's poker?
o_O
It's not that much smaller in diameter or thinner, and it doesn't weigh that much more. The thickness comparison you're doing is based just on...
Since 2019, they've been struck in .999 fine silver. Of course, that's also irrelevant to the perfectly normal 1992 cent that you've pictured....
Separate names with a comma.
