If one was to melt down a one euro coin, how much would the resuting metal be actually worth? Is the metal worth more than one euro?
Just curious.

The 1 Euro coin is bimetallic, with the following metal compositions:
Inner/Core : Copper Nickel
Outer/Ring : Nickel Brass
Mass : 7.50g
Diameter : 23.25mm
Thickness : 2.33mm
I can't tell you exactly how much the metals are worth without knowing the precise mass and alloy ratio of the ring and core, but the coin is not more than 1 Euro in metal value.

by the time you went to a smelting plant and waited for the thing to melt and then retrieved it again before it got solid, it would be worth more exchanging in a bank { euro is 65--67p sterling}
