It is possible to be nickel and penny poor. You can accumulate 10,000 dollars worth of nickels no problem. Capitalizing on them without melting them is problematic though. They passed that law, and since then, folks with HUGE sums of money have been storing them waiting for the law to change. And it will, because big money who have lots of these are also monied enough to pay lobbyists to "fix things". I say store many too. Mind you though, laws are made by the lesser of men, who are the majority, and praises and censures are given with an eye to their own interests, and to protect them from greater men who might get the better of them, in order that they do not get the better of them. So somehow, the rich are going to make out better, always. Until our wealth exceeds theirs. Then once we can cash our nickels in it will no longer matter.
