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.

1. 1 euro
2. 1 cent
3. If you're asking for the UK currency, It's a bout 60pence.
4. 25,000,000000 iraqi dinas
5. not sure about a euro but an english 2 pence is worth 3 p in copper, u would spend more melting it and seperating the copper from other metal in it tho
6. by the time you went to a smelting plant and waited for the thing to melt and then retrieved it again before it got solid, it would be worth more exchanging in a bank { euro is 65--67p sterling}
7. 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.
