   Copper,while well stacked in pm’s have for years been have also culling 1981 back pennies,like 95% copper,and,with the pennies demise coming seems like a cheap way for those on tight budget to invest in metals,research nickels also.

   My wife’s family is from the “copper country” area of the UP of Michigan. Up there it actually exists as pure veins, not ore. We have some great souvenirs of a few total pounds and then we purchased some wonderful Ron Paul commemorative ounce rounds. Other than that, I’m not stacking copper…though I think it is a very attractive metal appearance wise.

   Curious that you post so many of the Asian Guy vids but you did not post (or comment about) the one with the ridiculous claim that the BIS has implemented cash controls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv3xN40cOHw

      From Grok:

      The video you linked (“THEY PASSED IT: The New Banking Rule Begins Tonight. (Get Out)” from the Boring Economic channel) is not an original “Asian Guy” video—it’s a copycat or part of a very similar cluster of AI-generated finance alarmist content.

      This is not the first copycat Asian Guy video.

   How about nickels? Melt value is > face value. Monetary history shows coins are typically not debased as is paper money. A nickel becomes $0.50, then $5, then…

      Is the “melt value” really greater than the face value or is the cost of producing one greater than 5 cents? Big difference. 90% silver dimes, quarters, halfs, and dollars ARE way in excess of face value in melt. Just asking, not sure. I’m betting its not a huge amount like the silver stuff is. Might be cheaper/more worthwhile to hoard .22LR, .380, .45, .223, etc.

         Yes, it is. The main reason is coins, with commodity content, typically benefit in hyperinflation whereas paper, does not. This article is about copper, yes? The nickel is a cupronickel, 75% copper and 25% nickel.

         Google nickel as hyperinflationary hedge. Interesting.
