Chapter 22, Problem 19P
An original silver dollar from the late eighteenth century consists of approximately 24 grams of silver. At a price of $0.19 per gram ($6 per troy ounce), the silver content of the coin is worth about $4.50. Assume that these coins are in plentiful supply and are not collector's items, so they have no numismatic value. If the current price of silver is $0.19 per gram, will the price of the coin be greater than, less than, or equal to $4.50? Justify your answer.

Owing to the rising cost of copper, in 1982 the U.S. Mint changed the composition of pennies from 95% copper (and 5% zinc) to copper (and 97.5% zinc) 2.5% to save money. Your favorite aunt has a collection of 5,000 pennies minted before 1982, and she intends on gifting the collection to you. Solve, a. What is the collection’s value based on metal content alone? Copper sells for $3.50 per pound and zinc for $1 per pound. It takes approximately 130 pre-1982 pennies to add up to one pound of total weight. b. If it cost the U.S. Mint $0.017 to produce a penny in 2012, is it time to eliminate pennies and round off all financial transactions to the nearest 5 cents (nickel)? As a matter of interest, it cost the government almost 10 cents to produce a nickel in 2012.
