It is still a good investment for sometime down the road. They will be making pennies and nickels out of cheaper material. When that happens, I believe they will allow the meltdown. Just like silver coins; they make them out of cheaper material now and it is legal to melt the silver ones.

Although the Mint's new rules are immediately going into effect, the Mint will take comments from the public for a month. Quoted from the article
Since when does Mint rules become laws? This makes no sense to me. I have been hoarding copper lincolns and will continue to hoard.

I read about it. They didn't seem to mind back in the 80s when we were turning in roll after roll and hoards of silver coins to be melted down because the price of silver went so high. At least I don' recall any problems.
