That is not the important part though, it is a very bad play, and just because it can never go below face DOES NOT MAKE IT A FREE INVESTMENT.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The absolute last thing an investor should do is hoard the US$ long term.&nbsp; Anyone who does this is destined for failure.&nbsp; Our currency system works best with mild inflation.&nbsp; It is built into the master plan. When your investment is just sitting there at face value, you are not breaking even.&nbsp; YOU ARE LOSING MONEY. You need to put those USD&#039;s to work.&nbsp; It was easy in 2012 to make 15% in equities, and almost all other investment classes posted nice gains.&nbsp;&nbsp; BTW, both nickel and copper are down around 5% YTD.&nbsp; In addition, 5 years ago nickel was trading around $16 a pound, now it is a bit south of $9</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So in conclusion, hoarding nickels is just being on the wrong side of the odds.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
