What if there’s an EMP and every machine on earth is fried and coins are the only source of these materials readily available?

Just as implausible as your scenarios in the short term so what does it matter?

Haha good one.

Although, after such an EMP the coins value would likely surpass the melt value of the coin, so they wouldn't be worth holding?

How about this.

Fiat with value greater than melt value should be sold.

Fiat with value less than melt value should be destroyed (melted).

Hold as little as you can get away with.
