gxseries Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Just did a simple calculation for US and Australian coins for metal prices since there are arguments over what are the costs. P.s people in the US, since I am not well versed in the old Imperial system, when you are talking about tonnes to lbs, is 1 tonne = 2204 lbs? I'm getting a bit confused over long ton, short ton. Anyways here are the images: Australian coinage US coinage Might be a matter of time when Australia will replace their coinages. Of course, this does NOT include the price of mixing the metals into the alloys, transportation, etc. Quite hard to make a profit eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zjemller Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Well making a profit is possible, ecpessialy with the pre 1982 cents . The thing is that here in the States there are far easier ways to make money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 The US doesn't really use "long ton" except for displacement purposes. But a long ton is 2204 lbs We mainly use "short ton" which is 2000 lbs which is what most Americans know as just "ton" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
