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.
