Hi,

I had a question about Canadian Pennies and Nickels.

Do recyclers take copper pennies that are from 1996 and older with 98% copper content... and/or Canadian Nickel that are from 1981 and older with 99.9% Nickel.

If this question has been posted, could you link me up.

Thanks for your replies.

James.

Not in Canada. It is illegal to melt them down.

Ditto, the US! That doesn't say you can't haoed them until it is allowed!

Yeah, but transportation is an issue. If you are caught with it in your car, then it's probably subject to duty.

Can dogs smell base metals?
