Question for my Canadian friends.

Since nickel is no longer used as a material for currency (as far as I know) and Canada being known as one of the world's largest producer of nickel, should the RCM produce a .999 "Nickel Maple" bullion coin or bar? Or would that be a dumb idea?

I've noticed the price of nickel is starting to rise and perhaps a one kilo pure nickel round or bar would be cool (and an inexpensive investment that those of modest means could afford). Would the premium be too high?

Yes I would like to hold in my hand a big ol' chunk of Nickel!

Would you actually want to hold a pound of nickel for a measly $8-10 worth? I wouldn't. Search out nickel nickels if that's your pursuit and for Jebus' sake don't melt them because they're already in a known and recognisable form.

i dont see the harm in it.

And Libertad, I'm guessing you havent seen the Copper bullion coins/bars. Ppl are willing to invest in copper bullion then I see no problems in them investing in Nickel. In fact there are ALOT of ppl who have already started there nickel nickel hording

Rather than buy the nickel, just buy some shares on the stock exchange... Sherrit International ticker symbol "S"
