If you have any, do you sell? If you do, what do you do with the
readies? ($).

Buy houses?

I've heard some folks are going to the bank and buying rolls and rolls
of nickels. I'm not sure why that would be a good thing to do but it

From Wikipedia: As of 10 April 2011, the value of metal in a nickel is
approximately 7.1 cents at current spot prices for constituent metals,
a 40%+ premium over face value.

It is illegal to melt or export nickles but in case of a paper money
crash, the metal will have some value.

Surely "nickels" aren't actually made of nickel?
