What It's Like to Work for the Billionaire Nickel King
(www.counterpunch.org)
That’s a lot of nickels
conveniently, a US nickel ways about 5 grams, so that'd be at least 100 million kilograms of nickels. for comparison, the us mint only produced about 566,000 kilograms of nickels in 2024. at that rate, it would take 176 years to produce a billion dollars worth of nickels. i strongly doubt that there exist that many nickels in existence.
