As far as I know the Sacajawea coins metal content is worth less than the face value, but I was only using that as a reference. Before you go...
I'm sure it would remain illegal to do so even after the penny was discontinued, if it is ever. Just because it's illegal doesn't mean people will...
Only the pre-1982 ones are worth 3x their face value. Or more accurately, the metal content of those pennies is worth 3x the value of the penny....
There is a lot of work and a lot of risk for bodily harm involved in this process. If you decide to undertake it, be very careful. Despite the...
Not quite sure of the difference between a round and a coin. Same shape. Is a 'coin' just referred to as the government minted 'rounds' in this case?
Sky9: Yes, the copper content in the pennies. Althought they are not worth much now, if the economy continues on it's path, the value will...
Beautiful coin! I really like the silver Cougar one release along with this one. What I find humorous is that they put a $200 face value on the 1...
I recently saw a story covering gold in India and the rising demand. Most gold sold in India is in fact in jewelry, however the majority of...

I was walking some trails at a National Park a few weeks back and saw a man and his son panning for gold in one of the creeks. My only question...
One thing that irritates me is that the media spotlights the other GOP candidates who talk the talk, but almost completely ignore Ron Paul, who...
Despite the fact that I love his idea, getting enough people to actually partake in such an action would be impossible. As Sean said though,...
It is VERY illegal to melt down currency. In the US I know for a fact, and I'm sure it's the same way elsewhere. On the impurity part, if you did...
Hah, yeah I was just saying it was possible, and economically worth it, until you get caught. I definitely do NOT recommend trying it. Although it...
I think both will still continue to rise in price. I do think that a new ratio will be set also, but certainly not at the current one. My guess...
I've seen personal metal smelters online for as low as $200, you could probably find some cheaper too. It's not legal, but it wouldn't be too hard...
Doesn't hep the government's cause that S&P lowered the US' credit rating either. Even an institution that relies on a strong and functioning...
