Given rising metal prices, the pennies and nickels in your pocket are worth more melted down than their face value - and that has the government worried. U.S. Mint officials said they are putting into place rules prohibiting the melting down of 1-cent and 5-cent coins. Officials said they had received a number of inquiries from the public in recent months concerning the value of the metal in the coins and whether it was legal to melt them. The new regulations are being published in the Federal Register and will go into effect as interim rules which will not become final until the government has a chance to consider possible modifications based on public comments.
