<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 1712968, member: 29643&quot;]I&#039;ll assume that was a serious question. The US gov&#039;t made silver nickels in WW2 to AVOID causing a nickel shortage. The real cost of nickel was actually higher in the 70s that it was in WW2. Additionally, when/if WW3 occurs, the technology that we&#039;ll be using (drone combat planes, drone tanks, drone bomb/mine disposal) will likely cause a spike in the value of rare earth and platinum group metals before causing a spike in the cost of nickel.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nickel is an industrial metal. If we did encounter a war scenario which called for a large surplus of nickel (or copper, for that matter), the US Gov&#039;t would just pay the big 3 to stop making cars. The subsidy wouldn&#039;t be any worse than the US Gov&#039;t paying the automakers to produce inefficient cars in the mid-90s to increase demand for surplus oil.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
