Quoted:
Why melt them...curious to know I do not melt them. The wife and I are in the habit of dumping out change into a big jar. Every so often I will roll them up, but I sort out pre '82 pennies, 40 and 90% silvers, and more recently- nickles. I was wondering of the new nickles have intrinsic value. If they do, well... there you go. If they didnt, I would trade them for pennies or something. (I guess its just my OCD kicking in...) That is all. |
