<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andy21us, post: 348361, member: 2452&quot;]I would agree, but not much better.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let use the amount of $500.00 and calculate the value of both us cent vs canada nickel. At $500.00 in us cents this would add up to 325.6779 lb of copper and 17.1409 lb of zinc for $500.00 face value and has a melt value of $1194.63.&nbsp; A roll of US cents at 3.6143 lb of copper and 1.0229 lb of zinc the exact value is $1.1946310175931.</p><p>If you take the same amout of Canada Nickels (1955-1981)&nbsp; $500.00 at todays prices at melt which equal $0.1286944 metal value then 10,000 nickels at $0.1286944 = $1286.944 USD.</p><p>So it would be better to collect Canada nickels over us cents if you were going to melt them down.</p><p><br /></p><p>I only have one question. Have the US lifted the ban on melting down the cent?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
