<p>[QUOTE="coinhead63, post: 1058246, member: 28001"]Only a box would not be cost effective. Perhaps an armored car full of them would show a profit. Nickel melts at over 2600 degrees F and copper melts at 1981 F. For the pennies, Brass is as high as 1725 F, Bronze is as high as 1832 F , and zinc is only 786 F. Therefore the 82 and later cents would be the easiest to smelt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
