That’s a lot of nickels

[–] juliebean@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

conveniently, a US nickel ways about 5 grams, so that'd be at least 100 million kilograms of nickels. for comparison, the us mint only produced about 566,000 kilograms of nickels in 2024. at that rate, it would take 176 years to produce a billion dollars worth of nickels. i strongly doubt that there exist that many nickels in existence.
