Talk:Cladded US Coins

Well here's a case for Turtledove's Tropes if ever there was one!

I was dumping a huge amount of coins into one of those coin-counting machines in a bank a couple of months ago (on behalf of someone else, worse luck; it came out to close to a thousand dollars, but not my money). Some stranger volunteered that next time I should go through the coins and find ones from the pre-cladding days, and look into melting them down and selling them for scrap instead. I politely said I'd think about it and went back to dumping coins into the machine. Sometimes a little extra money just isn't worth the hassle (assuming that my profit would not be eaten up by the melting down process anyway, which seems unlikely).
