metallic value of cents, nickels?

MoneyLA

what is the current metallic value of a pre 1982 cent, and current nickels?

I recall the figure of 140 cents per pound, and with copper at about $3+ per pound, that would mean each "cent" is worth at least two-cents.

what about nickels?

current values, if you have them?

Try Canadian nickels, they are pure nickel from 55-81.
