Well.... Over on the Kitco board (where I found out about you guys), there are those who stack nickles. As I remember, nickle are worth 6.5 cents, so, you can buy an item for 5 cents that is worth 30% more than you pay for it... Does that qualify as a good source of "scrap"? I know some guys over there stack brick after brick of nickles.
