Nickles are presently worth $0.12 in metal value, and pennies are worth about $0.02. Old pre ‘82 pennies are worth about $0.10

I won’t argue the point of the coins’ scrape value.

The point I make is that as a unit of currency the coins can not purchase any thing at a retail store individually.

Your point simply strengthens my point that nickels, dimes and pennies should be removed from circulation because it now cost more to produce them than there face value.

Pennies are worth 2 cents and older pennies are worth a dime?

Want some of my pennies?
