LOL - now THAT is the best laugher on the thread so far!
You're aware, I hope, that the nickel is actually made of a mostly-copper alloy known as cupronickel, and accordingly, each coin is worth well more than $.05 for its copper content.
Accordingly, there's a plan to replace the current issue to rrecover their copper content, and circulate a stainless steel "nickel" worth far less than a penny instead.
So some folks are hanging on to the real thing while they're still available.
