You can find the exact melt values here but as of this morning Sunday March 27th before noon - any nickel you get in change is worth 8.5 cents and any penny has now reached a full cent in value. (Pennies before 1982 have now reached 3.1 cents in melt value.) Dimes and quarters have only a fraction of their face value represented by their melt value.
Yes, you can buy pennies and nickels for dimes and quarters.
Imagine, being given in change, a piece of metal worth more than the face value of the metal. Like before they got rid of gold, then silver in coinage. .... and if now they changed the metal .... wouldn't people start to hoard them? And then .... will nickels and pennies vanish soon?
"That's the 2020's for you."
=========================================
I guess that means a Barfstew predicted return of Piggy Banks by our MSM? Count on it... and you read it here first.
