There are 146 copper pennies to a pound. Copper is about $4.50 a pound. Therefore each copper penny is worth about 3 cents.

If you filled Christiane Amanpour’s nose full of nickels, she’d be worth a fortune!

I’ve been buying nickels for a while. I buy 20 bucks worth at a time because I don’t want them to ask any questions.

Is this article saying to buy current-issue nickels or silver nickels from the pre-junk coin era?

I wrote an article about this in our local paper a month ago and my bank know me when I walk in. I have been getting 40+ dollars worth at a time for a while now. Funny thing is when I explained this to them the response was basically “Right!”.

He how laughs last laugh’s best...

Lately, I keep all my change. Theory is that at some point, the dollar will be devalued, maybe 10 to 1 ala Zimbabwe. It would be impractical to replace all the coins immediately, so they should appreciate in value in direct proportion to the devaluation.

And if it never happens, they still spend.

The US Mint (without congress passing a law) has prohibited the exportation, melting, or treatment of US pennies and nickles. See here. A violation of these restrictions (not "laws") can lead to a fine of up to $10,000, imprisonment of up to 5 years, and forfeiture of the subject coins or metal.

On the same webpage, the US Mint warns about these coins:

The coins are real, but the "president" is a fake.
