Zincoln Nickels?


Recommended Posts

The United States is paying 9.4 cents for every nickel it mints. And Congress is not very happy about it.

So tests are underway to find cheaper materials for nickels, and the latest experiment involves making nickels with the same formula used to make pennies - a solid zinc base covered with a thin layer of copper.

And we all know how those zinc pennies crumble when they've been in the ground a while - will the same fate soon befall our nickels too?
