<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 142378, member: 3011"]Hoarding nickels and cents for the metallic content seems like a tough way to make a buck. At some point, the mint will change the composition of the coins if the cost becomes prohibitive, and the older coins will be melted. Smelters operate on a scale where they can make a small profit on fairly tiny differences in value. It's their business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
