Supposedly it's illegal though (I'm giving away my age)...I remember when there was a big rush up in the price of silver to $50+ per ounce and coin dealers and antique shops were all rusing material to smelters (technical term for those who melt/refine metals).  Nobody was ever arrested for it that I'm aware of.  Numismatic value is determined by the date, mint, and condition of the coin so I'd check the Redbook at the library to see if the coin is worth more than melt (melt is currently at around 6x face for silver).

No.  Due to rising costs, it has been replaced with bronze.  Things are tough all over.

No it was a rumor that was fueled because some coins contained the images of a older Queen at the same time as a younger during the same year. \n\nThis error does not exist and no one ever sold one in the market.

Yes it is. And gold closed today at $700 and ounce. You made some money.

LOL with Gold at $632 an ounce HELL YEAH!  Its skyrocketing!  So is Silver.  Go buy silver coins from the coin store and hold on to them for a few years, they will be worth ALOT later!  I bought 100 one ounce coins about 2-3 years ago when silver was only $5.60 an ounce...now its $12.95 and ounce and growing higher with gold.  Im buying more up every few months.

I dabbled in selling American Eagle Silver coins on eBay for a few months.  I found a bank that was selling the coins for less than the value of the silver.  I made a nice profit with them.

Pennies aren't copper any more they're mostly Zinc!  And the other coins aren't silver they're mostly made out of nickle.  (which is how the 5 cent piece got called a nickle, but now all the "Silver" coins are nickle.)\n\nAs to why back in the day pennys were made out of copper?  because it was a cheap metal that wouldn't corrode too badly.

Ask a jewler I guess, they can turn gold into white gold

hmmm.. I'm not even sure they have that anymore. It's a very bad poison. The greeks actually used that for the death penalty in as far back as 700 BCE. \n\nIt might still be made. I'm not sure. Google it and see if it has a preccedor.

many jewelers can use gold to make a new piece. you shoul find reputable jeweler in your area, and ask them if they can do that.

there are many and there are several more modern variations, because ha'pennies are in short supply now.  When I were a lad we played football or sometimes rugby with coins - it involved three 2p coins (the half p coins being quite tiddly by then) and some weird thing you did with your hands.   Ah, those were the days, shoite so they were...

Yes ! I was 14 and living in Washington,  DC - my friend and I went to bike in our favorite park ( LITTLE FOREST ) and he brought his dad's metal detector along. There was once a fort     (or fortification) that the soldiers used from the war against the British and during the civil war. We thought that would be a great place to look for goodies and we were right !  We found three stashes of gold coins and relics glore that had  been ( delibrately ) buried since George Washington's & Abe Lincoln's presidencies !   Amazing ( net worth ) then in 1970,  $10,000+   Now - I ain't goin' to say !!!

Actually, they're not.\nThere are mints in San Francisco and West Point, too, although, at present, those ore not strikming general-circulation coins, only the special issues.\n\nAs to the original question, that's just where they built the original plants for making coins and, as yet, have seen no need to expand or relocate  (The first mint was in Philadelphia because it was the capital of the USofA at the time)

I think that was before Alexander.  So if it even existed, Greece was probably a Monarchy... I think...
