Tag any other Australians here, I got kimi to make us a updating price checker for metals vs face value of coins.

@charliebrownau @atomic no it's illegal to melt down currency since 1965 ((guess who)) and you use them as single barter chips for the value of their metal
So for example if copper goes to 30$/kg your coins are now worth alot more then the face value (hint: they already are worth more than the face value 12% ATM)
I often considered investing in copper as its getting expensive
and of course its deemed (((illegal))) to mint down coins
You can be sure it was ((( Them ))) that came up with that idea
@charliebrownau @atomic it's not just a cheap way to invest in copper right now. The coin is worth more than the face value. 12. Whatever percent right now. So if you go in and trade in your dollar of digital currency or whatever like your note currency and trade it in for $0.05 pieces. You are making 12% as soon as you make that trade
Giving them to a copper trader ?
@charliebrownau @atomic no, so the metal itself is worth a value right? You are valuing the coins on their metal content to use as barter for example, you have 2kg of copper you can trade that for X and the person will accept it because even tho the face value of the coins are 5$ or whatever the metal in the coins are way more than 5$
@VooDooMedic @charliebrownau Australian coins do have a percentage of copper, but it's not just about the melt value, based on what we saw in other collapsing economies, the coins tend to retain value and can be used to make purchases of goods and services.
