US Nickel Composition may change soon

House bill seeks change to 5-cent composition

Proposed legislation could change the Jefferson nickel in 2027 to nickel-clad zinc, reducing production costs while keeping vending compatibility.

Corroding coins. What could go wrong?

So we will have another VDI for nickels soon.
I would prefer they used a smaller clad coin, how about bringing back the half dime? Same weight as a clad dime only stamp it half dime!
Wow,sometimes I have cool thoughts……must be the two libations I had tonight….ha ha ha

The story was about stolen payroll from many moons ago. The payroll was buried,, and never found . The area is now national grounds ,, and no hunting , digging , etc,, because of federal lands now .
Point is ,, the government would rather the loots stay hidden,, than anyone find it ,, and the .guv have to pay a finders fee.
So , with these disintegrating coins ,, is just a way the .guv keeps us from coming across a few untaxed cents.
Yea ,,, I know ,,, just a far fetched assumption,,,,

I think they try and find it , with bigger toys than we can get. That way they can keep it all.
