Best Answer

As of 2015, a nickel (5 cents) costs between 7.8 and 8.1 cents to manufacture.

The Mint is investigating the use of alternative metals for the coin. In the meantime, it's

(a) illegal to melt nickels and sell them for scrap

(b) unlikely to be profitable because dealers will only pay wholesale prices, less than 5 cents per coin
