But, as mentioned above, it could be made more cheaply by having it be smaller and consisting mostly zinc or aluminum. Inflation, even if at a low rate, will eventually doom any metallic nickel too.</p><p><br /></p><p>I recently visited BC, a lovely place and people, and for fun, tried to pay for something with some Canadian cents I brought with me.
