I have at least one quart jar full of nickels... maybe another half full. Still getting them in change, so no shortage. Cheers, RickO

I'm guessing you didn't actually read the article.

Been doing it for years waiting for them to go to steel some day. I look at it as money saved. Cent’s and Nickels.

That’s quite a hoard @Type2
It’s a fun and games until somebody gets their eye poked out, or has to MOVE! ;-)

I’ve been saving pre 82 cents for quite some time, but my stash is pretty modest by the above posted standards.

That article is a pretty good read, and is pretty well balanced in their presentation of the risks vs benefits
relating to the topic at hand, contrary to what the article title may lead one to believe.
