Everything is already clad zinc, what fuckin metal could possibly used that would work and cost less?
The USD has become a complete and total shit coin. What I really see here is an excuse to push even harder to go cashless.
Stack those sats boys and girls.
Collecting old pennies (with better metal content) = original stacking sats. We’ve since upgraded to BTC. #DollarIsDying
Next news report : “US Mint admits reducing the gold and. Silver content in the American Eagle series —- “we could not afford the gold and silver from the BRICS nations. We hope these reduced metal coins will retain value based on this rare error””. #grownostr #gold #silver #USD
It will be plastic 😄

Likely! I was thinking that some form or what we used to call "white metal".
Some of you may not realize it, but Mr Spirko has been preaching the truth since 2008, while driving his Jetta to work. I had a beautiful newborn then (annoying 15 year old boy, now 🙄).
He is obnoxiously right, so get used to it, and LISTEN.

The nichel is nichel clad copper. So it's not zinc just yet. I actually had held a few thousand dollars of my emergency fund in nichels for years, as I have fully expected this to occur. I also expect that pre-2023 nichels will be as tradable in the future as "junk" silver quarters currently are.
That actually happened to gold coins back then, when the gov'ts reduced the purity and earned profit off of seigniorage.
