A penny 1982 and older contains 95% copper! The penny's melt value is higher then the actual penny! The melt value of the nickel is getting higher as well, the melt value of the nickel is climbing and will most likely be higher then the nickel! Legalizing the melting of American minted coins will be amazing for the people and has been a national interest for a long time!
Coin collectors have been melting silver coins for YEARS!
