Not sure how to answer your question lol... Some years of Canadian nickels you could put together with US nickels but seeing how it illegal to melt them are they still worth hording?
I guess if they ever change the rules you would be ahead of the game so to speak.

I am hoarding them, along with ALL pre-1982 copper pennies I come across, in case the melting ban is ever lifted, however, even if the melting ban is lifted, I will not melt them anyway. If the government eventually changes the coin compositions, I will just sell the coins to a junkyard for their metal content. (I always thought it would be a weird concept to take actual "money" to cash in at a junkyard for more money
)One thing I always wondered though, is, what if someone melts a bunch of U.S. nickels, and tries to "claim" that they are Canadian nickels, if the compositions of some Canadian years are the same as U.S. nickels?
Hey, I know I asked this before, and although its pointless, are you allowed to melt down 1943 steel pennies?
