<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 3117794, member: 78298&quot;]The government that produces the nickels doesn&#039;t see any value back from making them. It&#039;s just an expense. Sure if you think you are saving money on paper by cutting the cost of something which is over produced and unnecessary.</p><p>Why not just make 1/2 billion nickels instead of 1.5 billion and then you are saving 7 cents x 1 billion instead of 2 cents on 1.5 billion with an inferior zinc nickel (or whatever junk they are going to use to cut cost)?</p><p>And yes compared to the trillions that they will never be able to pay back some imaginary millions that are saved on a balance sheet but not in real life is meaningless.</p><p>Why is it meaningless? Because we don&#039;t have the money to pay for it in the first place. You aren&#039;t saving money when you don&#039;t pay your debts and keep spending money. Even if spending that money is making nickels.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
