<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 999823, member: 23626&quot;]Unfortunately, US Silver and Gold coins are smelted with regularity. I even have a smelter that will accept bags of coins and will pay according to the face value. That way you can mix the denominations. Once the coins are in your hands, they no longer belong to the government and they cannot recall them, legally. There is some question as to the Constitutionality of the ban on melting copper coins. This was imposed simply to assure there were ample cents left in circulation to conduct commerce. When Copper shot up, the cent was worth much more melted than whole, as it still is. Many of us copper hoarders are just waiting for the day. LOL[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
