"One side note, and it really irks me, it seems to be a legislative reaction to some morons increasingly wanting to melt Cents and Nickels. It is now illegal to melt them. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always thought that the mindset of melting coins to make a profit never made an ounce of sense. It costs money to transfer a globally recognized coin with a known metallic composition, into a bar or round, and to have that object assayed. It’s the undertaking of an idiot. And yet, untold millions of silver coins have been reduced to bars and rounds. Friggin’ idiots."
The one account I know that follows this account is @chasedownloads aka Chase Passive Income, which is a parody of a certain kind of entrepreneur, very much not real.
This is not real. No one associated with this account (or, probably, any account) has bought these nickels.
The picture isn't even his, I just searched "box of nickels" to see if it's standard to have such an unremarkable looking box and this ebay listing showed up with the same picture: https://www.ebay.com/itm/275972601184
Good for him I guess that he'll probably make a couple hundred bucks from twitter impressions. I regret spending any attention on this, flagged and blocked...
Holding that much cash is already insane, considering inflation. In coins? Huge liquidity problem. Good luck finding enough buyers to make 10-20 cents off a single coin.
Ah, but you’re mistaken in thinking that this kind of tinkering ends for good once love begins. It simply goes away for a bit!
The stages of life:
tinkering (!in love)
!tinkering (in love)
tinkering again (in love)
The third stage usually involves a shed or hacker space or workshop in order to maintain the love state, unless one is lucky enough to have a co-tinkerer as a partner :)
Some person on Quora, for whatever that's worth.
Joking aside, not a bad bet.
Pennies and Nickels do not fall into that bucket, however.
