<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 8658880, member: 25270&quot;]You said &quot;melted by the Fed.&quot; So do they take old coins out of circulation and melt them? If so, what&#039;s their criteria for doing that? I often wondered what happens to the old coins that they need to keep making 5 billion pennies every year. They can&#039;t all be lost in the snow. We are still finding a lot of older nickels in our roll searches. Maybe not always in great shape, but I have a pile of 1940 and 41, and coins from the 60s and 70s are not uncommon at all. The nickels seem to hold up better than some of the other coins in my observation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
