They report that each 5¢ nickel (75% copper) cost 9.24¢ to produce...interesting.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I wonder how many people&#039;s annual income tax payments are completely wasted in the effort to continue producing these worthless coins? ...when was the last time you bought something for a nickel? :kewl:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hmmm...let&#039;s see. Considering distribution and storage costs, let&#039;s round up slightly to get to round figures. :scratch:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In 2010, the Mint produced $25 Million worth of nickles at a cost to tax payers of $50 Million.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know it doesn&#039;t sound like much, but you keep adding it up and pretty soon we&#039;re talking about REAL money! :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
