Nickels

I understand that at the end of the different currencies and the start of the Euro all countries had a different way of getting rid of the returned coins
I understand France sold their coins to a few big scrap merchants who sold them happily for a nice profit to China
Especially those that got Nickel in them

One of my smaller clients runs a scrap business with his brother
Up to a few years ago they had to make ends meet
Now both got a brand new car
Mercedes if I remember rigth
One of them takes three vacations a year on the Canary island

Must make hay whilst the sun shines I think is the expression

China needs nickel to make stainless steel
I do not think it is more complecated then that

They were/are buying aluminium in france because they did not have enough electricity to make it themselves

You can't go wrong with any proof nickel I get all I can.

coins if you want to buy a lot at one time can be hard to get from the bank, but if your willing to buy a whole lot they may order you a box, all ya gotta do is ask. I'm always going threw nickels, I am determined to be able to get a full collection of Jeffersons with out paying over face value.
