While buying nickels today I was talking to the cashier about Canadian coins. She mentioned that one of the other tellers had a whole roll of them, along with 50¢ worth she had in her tray. Surprisingly they were willing to sell them. Out of the $2.50 there were 16 Ni's. Admittedly small potatoes for some, but I'm easy to please.
Good stuff Bluegill. Find some here then there and soon you'll find yourself with quite a hoard.
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; second is war. Both bring a temporary (and false) prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunities.
One disk of 99% Ni at a time and you'll have a roll, then two rolls, then... The still life featuring a Beaver is an added bonus (not to mention you could set them in a line by date and watch the Queen as she ages).
