Now that the penny is dead when is the nicklel next? Crazy to think 50 years ago having a nickle in your pocket made a huge difference

Deflationary crisis will make you beg for pennies when the work force becomes obsolete while the remaining work zombies enter into cognitive atrophy after accepting the superiority of their AI chat service to their own 100 IQ thinking.

I have over 40000 war nickels that were purchsed when silver was under $20/ozt -- I'm going to be okay guys!

I always thought it was weird how a nickel is much larger than a dime. Why is a dime so friggin' small?

>>511188648
cause it's a dime piece
quality over quantity (of metal)

We don't have pennies like the bongs; we have cents.

They should keep all the same coins but simply change the values to dollars. So a penny isn't 1 cent, it's 1 dollar. A dime isn't 10 cents, it's 10 dollars. They can print new paper money in the higher denominations with a couple extra zeroes.

That kennedy 50 piece in op is worth 20-30.00
90 percent silver with numismatic value

>>511188648
Dimes and up used to be silver alloy. Nickels were made of nickel.

>>511188648
I'll answer your question. When US coin was 90% silver, the denomination of the coins was tied to their weight. Any combination of half dollars, quarters and dimes would equal the same amount of silver per $1 face value. Therefore, ten dimes have the same weight as four quarters or two half dollars. It's 16 pennyweights to the dollar. I can't be arsed to convert that to grams atm. Oddly, silver dollars have always had 17.2 pennyweights to the dollar. This has led to issues in the past.

Only to "collector" retards. Take it to any grocery store and it's still worth $0.50

Not sure I completely trust it though.

Dude this is cool info ty

>>511190039
Agreed for sure
The melt value is a better way of putting it

>>511190104
Also, the word for the Mexican "dollar" is Peso, which means weight as in a unit of measure, and it's also why the U.K. has a Pound Sterling. It's silver weight, all the way down.

Before the 5 ¢ coin was made from a copper nickel alloy there was a coin called the half dime. It was made from silver just as dimes were always silver bedore 1965. There was also a coin made out of copper nickel called a 3 cent nickel. There was also a 2 cent coin made from copper and a half cent made from copper. Pennys also used to be a lot larger as well. There was also a silver 20 cent coin as well.

I've been saving pennies just because. I feel like 20yrs from now they'll be worth a lot more than 0.01c

Dude im rethinking it all
Lol ty

HOLY SHIT

>dimes have 118 'ridges' on their edge to prevent coin clipping

Waste of time. They should just wire one quintillion dollars to every American saving account.

>>511188882
>cent
A cent was legally defined as weight measure of copper. The penny hasn't been a cent since 1982.

>>511189367
It will happen in our lifetime and you will remember this post and you will laugh.

>>511186805 (OP)
The nickle and dime are already penny tier.

>>511191578
you think?

i don't quite understand the logic

>>511191363
109 has already been made outdated even going by the standards of itself. We are up to like 113 or so.

>>511189367
This is similar to what normally happens in impoverished countries as they hyperinflate. The loose change from the previous system becomes the loose change in the new system. It's a gamble, but it is literally better to hold on to pennies and nickels than it is to hold on to dollar bills. At the very least, they will be worth their composition in copper, nickel, and zinc.

>>511188648
because dimes had silver in them, nickels had nickel

>>511186805 (OP)
Was just talking some old dude about that today, dude not even a single dollar can buy you anything, during COVID the dollar tree became the 1.50$ -3$ tree, meanwhile our govt pain pviser 1-2trilliin dollars prolly a jew on top

Hyperinflation sucks a bag of dicks.
Remind me again why the people of a country don't declare total holy war on the bankers and drag them into the streets and hang them and beat their bodies like pinata's until their guts are beaten out of them and hang like so much toilet paper dangling from a tree on Halloween. A grim decoration of our discontent. Rotting like the meat they are.

Neither the half-dollar nor the dollar coin are gone.

They sent all those 50 cent pieces to Ecuador when they changed to the US dollar. They’re all over the place down there
