nickel alloys gave better service than brass in plated flatware because of the strength and also when the silver plate wore through you could hardly tell it on a polished piece.

I'm looking for US coins to go the the all aluminum standard. Once again the value of the coin will be equal to the value of the metal. Almost. Korea adopted  this when the won was 105 to 1$. (1970)


Interesting facts. With aluminum coins perhaps finding pulltabs would be profitable.  Cheesy

Cyber, Good point! I can see pulling out a pocket full of pull tabs to make change. I'd be rich overnight.  Funny Funny

I can see people not removing the pulltabs from the cans and saving them altogether. Perhaps finding pulltabs would be hard  Grin

Instead of pieces of eight, we'd have pieces of can.

If I knew how much a pull tab weighed I would calculate how many to the penny with aluminum scrap at $.56/lb.  Idea
