This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Is nickel not magnetic? I guess the outer cladding must be pretty thin.

No US coins are attracted to magnets.

Except for the steel penny they made for one year.

Probably to prevent rust?

Also iron/steel are difficult to mold.
