I suppose I&#039;m so used to looking up gold and silver prices that I just defaulted to oz&#039;s. While we&#039;re on the subject of copper..

Due to sharply rising metal prices, the U.S. Cent (99.2% zinc and 0.8% copper core, plated with 100% copper) has a current melt value of 1.12 cents per coin. The nickel, (75% copper and 25% nickel) has a melt value of a hefty 6.99 cents per coin!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.about.com/b/2006/12/14/new-law-it-is-illegal-to-melt-down-pennies-and-nickels.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.about.com/b/2006/12/14/new-law-it-is-illegal-to-melt-down-pennies-and-nickels.htm" rel="nofollow">http://coins.about.com/b/2006/12/14/new-law-it-is-illegal-to-melt-down-pennies-and-nickels.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
