    How about their worth in copper?

    On that note, are they easy to recycle?

      That would be great except they are made of zinc.

        That’s why I eat them to stave off my next cold. Just as good as Zicam!

        Melt it all down, let it seperate by mass, pour into molds. Energy consumed may not be worth it though.
