Jim,
Your readers might be interested to know that banks [where I live in California] have started charging a fee for rolled U.S [five cent piece] nickels. I’ve been going to Wells Fargo Bank ever since you wrote about the subject, several years ago, gradually obtaining nickels at cost. Yesterday, I found that they’ve begun charging 7.5% per $100 box. Another local bank, beginning in March, has started charging 10% per roll of nickels. Word is getting out: Gresham’s Law is intact. – Paul B.
