    How much is a one euro coin really worth?
    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.
