A Montana City Name is Inscribed on a 2020 US Quarter
I'm not a coin collector but when I was a kid my grandmother would give us rolls of wheat pennies and pre-1964 nickels for our birthdays. My mom told us they were more valuable than normal change, because the old pennies were actually made with real copper and the old nickels contained mostly nickel.
Current coins in production contain very small amounts of precious metal. In fact, nickels and pennies cost more to make than their face value. CoinNews.net reported that a penny cost 1.76 cents to make in 2020 and a nickel cost 7.42 cents to make. Seems like a perfect example of government fiscal ineptitude, doesn't it? Anyway, by habit, I always look at my change to see if maybe I'll score something pre-1964 or other randomly interesting coins.
