Regardless, it will happen sooner or later and I'm stacking all the nickels I can before sorting becomes necessary.

What I don't understand is how they can quit making dollar coins on their own, but they have to mint pennies and nickles untill they are instructed to stop.

the key being that they will not stop minting them, just change the composition to steel.
