<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 647978, member: 4552&quot;]1. If you melt down any coins and take the blob of metal to a metal recycler, do you think they&#039;ld say &quot;OH, look. Used to be coins&quot;</p><p>2. Do you think that any metal recyclers have or care about those laws?</p><p>3. If you melt down your own coins, you could be using the metal to make jewlery, knives and/or swords. Imagine a Gold Sword with a Silver handle and a Copper scabbord.</p><p>4. It&#039;s a good thing they have such laws. Now they will arrest all those criminals that do melt coins. They have laws against home invasions, murder, rape, auto theft and on and on and on and you can see how well that works.</p><p>5. Jewlers have been melting down coins for thier buisness for many, many years. Look at the rings on your and/or your wife&#039;s fingers and see if you can tell if that was ever a Coin. </p><p>6. Electricians around here take waste Copper wires to metal recyclers and throw in piles of pennies all the time. Never saw a Penny Police person watching. </p><p>Just a guess but I would suspect that about 70% or much more coins have been melted, thrown in Rivers/Lakes/Ponds, smashed with hammers for fun, pressed into something like the ones at the Zoos, placed on RR tracks, buried and on and on and on. </p><p>Of course there are mountains of coins in the bank vaults, personal hoards in someone&#039;s basement, The Federal Researve, bottom of the Ocean, collectors Albums and one dealer I see at all the coin shows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
