<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1324839, member: 26302"]I could see it easier with cents, (even though they carefully made post 83 cents LOOK identical to prior cents), but I am unsure about nickels. Unless there was a lot of press about how valuable they were, and as long as the mint continues to put new into circulation, I simply don't see them hoarded like that. Gresham's law worked in 1965 because people could tell the difference between clad and silver, so the bad clad drove the good silver out of circulation. What would drive good nickels out of circulation? There are no "bad" nickels yet. If the US changes the composition of the nickel, then I very well see this happening.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
