While our coins may not have a melt value equal to their face value, they are not worthless. The lowly zinc penny has a melt value equal to nine-tenths of its face value. Dimes and quarters have a melt value equal to three-tenths of their face value. Nickels have a melt value 1.43 times their face value. Even paper currency is not completely worthless since it can be used as toilet paper or to help start fires.
Yup. Gone are the days when our coins are a useful subdivision of a day's wages (or even a single meal, for that matter). Long gone are the days when road construction is used as a way to build and repair roads, instead of an as-needed means to siphon money.
