<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1164999, member: 26302&quot;]The Treasury rule will be repealed someday after the percentage of these coin in circulation are minimal. Of course, this will require a new alloy nickel to be produced. The rule is just there to scare smelters away from handling these, to facilitate commerce. </p><p><br /></p><p>The question is, how long does someone want to hold onto these, having to keep them secure from theft and earning no interest on this money, in order to cash in on them in the future. If someone put away BU nickels each year I would not argue, but I have better things to do with hundreds or thousands of dollars than to put them in bags of nickels earning no interest. The thought that these will be worth more than face value in the future is right, but at what cost? Even silver coinage you would have been better off putting in a mutual fund in 1964 than keeping silver change. You cannot ignore the time value of money, and if you don&#039;t like the USD, then invest it in something with exposure to Yuan, Euros, Baht, whatever.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my thoughts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
