You mention the falling price of copper. I read where nickel is becoming fairly pricy. How far is the price of nickel from driving nickels from common usage? And what does one use to debase a nickel?

You mention the falling price of copper. I was being sarcastic. All the items named are inflating like mad.

No idea.

Nickels aren't made of nickel anymore, and pennies aren't made of copper. Both are mostly zinc these days with a small amount of the real metal for color.

Yeah, I figured we didn't have the discipline to remain on even a nickel standard.
