The best bang for your buck in metal content is the nickle, Cu pennies are actually better but require a lot of sorting and returns. Whereas all the nickles are the same except the silver ones. http://www.coinflation.com/
It's weird, sort of irritating, whenever I go & convert a 20 FRN for 10 rolls of nickels, they, (tellers) always
ask me what I want them for? And, I often struggle and have "bite my tongue" before
I inappropriately chastise, "What business is it of yours...?"
So, my more reasonable reply, is typically made with eyebrows raised, "Why do you ask?"
