Who cares whats happens after the sale is done

Like the heading says, but i just sold some canadian nickels to a fella in Cali.thats using them in experimental hydrogen production. I guess i never really gave it much thought to what anyone did with them, and never cared. Do any of you do anything other than hoard, resell, or collect. Nickel has such a high melting point as well as crazy fumes and vapors that aren't healthy for you. I mean no one is melting them in their backyard right? Its cool i guess, just a little different. I don't think he's a member here as i sold through another source and if he is sorry for talking out of class.

More power to him. Hope he does something useful with them, while not killing anyone in the process!

I use them for nothing else than wealth preservation, but their beauty is their complete utility for about anything one might think of for nickel. They could even be electroplating feedstock, if needed.

each to his own

I would prefer not to know that Im supplying the coins for someone who is going to melt or deform them. The reason being is that if I am ever interrogated for selling base metals or any other thing that might be considered criminal I would be able to tell them the truth without giving any signals that may indicate I am not telling the truth. If we dont yet live in a police state, we will in the future.

I don't really care. I hear that they use old pure Canadian nickel dollars (15.62 gram) as a barter currency in Japan.

I would be using an alternate currency if my 1 Yen "coin" floated on water too, lol.

It might be the reason that there are so few of the big nickel dollars in Canadian circulation. No biggie, plenty of other nations use US dollars as alternate currencies. The US Sacagawea dollar coin is extremely unpopular in the US, but circulates well in Ecuador.

They can melt whatever I sold them down and throw it off a bridge for all I care as long as I got paid for the goods.
