I heard a couple of days ago that metal prices have increased so much the the nickel in the 5c piece will soon be worth more than the face value of the coins. Does anyone else think that the 5c piece is soon to be headed for the scrap heap? Maybe Australian currency is distended for a currency 'resizing' and alteration similar to New Zealand! I am just wondering what everybody else thinks

Newspaper report gives metal values of nickel/copper coins as;
5¢→4.89¢
10¢→9.78¢
20¢→19.56¢
So, where New Zealand goes so may Australia follow.

With the recent upsurges in many metal prices this is probably the situation for many countries. {In Zimbabwe, is the paper price nearly as high as their banknote values? Current inflation rate is just over 100,000% and you need a wheelbarrow full of notes to do your grocery shopping. The presses are running overtime printing even more, and larger 'value' notes just to try and pay for Mugabes excesses. Where will it end?}
