I'm sure it has happened before, but the recent rise in Nickel and Copper prices has the US nickel worth exactly (as of 12/31/2009) 5.09 cents each.
The Nickel is currently the ONLY US coin currently being minted that contains more value in its metal content than its face value.
Of course, approximately 15% of all cents in circulation contain pure or nearly pure copper and as such are worth over 2 cents each, and there continues to be a small but worthwhile percentage of silver to be found in dimes, quarters and especially half dollars.
So let me ask this, with Nickels requiring no sorting by date or content, do you plan to accumulate Nickels in 2010?
