CuNi Foreign????

Postby TheJonasCollegeFund » Tue Jan 31, 2012 11:14 pm

Been finding quite a few CuNi foreign coins. If everyone is saving US nickels shouldn't these be stacked as well?

Question is.....which foreign CuNi coins are you stacking?

Thanks!

I save any CuNi foreign coins that I find while sorting pennies. Too bad I haven't found that many yet.

But I did find a Great Britain 10 Pence (2000) in the parking lot today. It's 6.5g copper-nickel.

So. Korea - all coins up to 100 Won.

It wont take much for copper and aluminum to move for the stuff above 10 won to equal or exceed melt. The lower ones already do.

The 100 Won is the same size/wt/composition as the US quarter
(now that does NOT mean you should use them in vending machines even if you could. Never mind getting your 50 cent Twinkies for 17 cents.)

Got any militery friends stationed in Korea?

I see a bunch of older Mexican coins are CuNi. Should I stack these big ones?

What about the French 5 francs....I've found a few of these?
