[QUOTE="BronzeAge, post: 7720713, member: 119750"]With post-covid inflation, it looks like stainless is the only metal we can use to make a nickel cheaper than its melt value. It was 7.5 cents at one point this past Spring. Even a zinc penny was 0.8 cents that same week. Can you coat steel with copper? I think Canada has had steel cores for the other three coins since 2000 and quit using zinc cores in 2012.[/QUOTE]
