You&#039;ve removed $100,000 from the economy and created $120,000 in raw metals that really should never have existed in the first place. Enough people do it when it is profitable and now the US is having to mint even more coinage at a loss in order to make up for the profit that others decided to do. </p><p><br /></p><p>The issue wasn&#039;t mom and pop with a small jug of pennies, but to make sure it was clear it was illegal for those thinking large scale melts and to especially deter those exporting the coinage out of the US.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
