[QUOTE="Doug21, post: 1104531, member: 5650"]I'm not actually doing it ( now). My house is for sale and I desire to move far from snowy New England shortly....not the time to be buying milk crates full of nickels. However with interest rates at like 1%, a pallet of nickels in the garage isn't an awful idea ( IMO). No downside potential on the investment, and it could double or more in value in a few short years ? The US Mint can't continue making nickels of 75% copper and 25% nickel forever ( unless the metals drop in price). It's like 1964 and silver, something has to give way, or 1982 and copper ! side note: Why didn't the US go to 40% for quarters and dimes in the late 60's ? 40% silver looks just like 90% silver to me.
