    The same can be said about the US penny and nickel. Both cost at least double their value to produce.

      While true, that’s the lowest value coin we have. What’s a Kopeck worth vs it’s metal value?

        I remember it used to be 1/13 of its metal value, but I can’t Google it up quickly and the ratio has probably changed since then anyway.
