    Melting coins is complicated & I will not try to explain. Google it, but lots of law about it BTW, pennies have been zinc for a number of years.

    I thought it might become legal now that they have been decommissioned so to speak:


    Will U.S. Mint Melt Down Older Lincoln Cents? - Numismatic News

    "It is illegal for Americans to melt them down except for personal projects such as making them into jewelry"

    "Couldn’t the U.S. Mint then melt down these coins to profit from their higher metal value? Although I have not yet heard of any such plans, don’t be surprised if it happens within the next decade or so."

    mrs b needs a lot more jewelry
