    $1b worth of pennies = 100b pennies

    1 penny = 2.5gm constituting 97.5%Zn and 2.5%Cu

    Therefore...

    100b pennies = 250,000 tonne total weight = 243,750 tonne Zn + 6,250 tonne Cu

    243,750 tonne Zn @ ≈ $2,800/tonne = $682.5m worth of Zn

    6,250 tonne Cu @ ≈ $8,800/tonne = $55m worth of Cu

     

    Even if you can't make good a penny in its coin form, you can still smelt it down to its constituent elements and do quite well.

    I’m pretty sure the government won’t want you smelting down their money. 

     

    I'm pretty sure it's illegal to smelt money

    That's great! But I do have few more questions. 

    What are your expectations for TKR?

    How long will you plan to stay in TKR?

    Explain in your own words, which kind of a nation you want to become, and what kind of help you expect from TKR in this?

    What can you bring into TKR? Why would we want to accept you?

    Today at 13:29
    would it be ok for me to suggest that both of you get verified?
    Prime Great
     —
    Today at 13:30
    How?
    100ArcticMonkey
     —
    Today at 13:30
    its quite a simple process
    https://politicsandwar.com/account/verification/
    Verification - Politics & War
    Account Verification is a process by which you can have your nation reviewed and approved as an independent account. It is only necessary for players using a shared network (such as school, work, or home) where more than one person is playing Politics & War from the same network. Account Verification will allow you to interact with each other un...

    check unique id
    Prime Great
     —
    Today at 13:31
    Wow, so o can now interact with him and share trades?
    100ArcticMonkey
     —
    Today at 13:33
    id say it wouldnt be as necessary to verify since they dont have the same unique id but its still a good measure to take
    100ArcticMonkey
     —
    Today at 13:34
    i wouldnt say this makes it ok for you to send him trades in large amounts with no reason but it would allow us to be sure that we wouldnt be having someone breaking game rules in our alliance
    @Boomlander you may continue, sorry for the interruption
    Boomlander
     —
    Today at 13:35
    Why have you got a third application on the forums with your brother's id?
    It's ok @100ArcticMonkey
    Prime Great
     —
    Today at 13:36
    Anyways,  I reviewed  the verification process and I still think its best if we both plays individually...without  contacting each  other😿

    What made you pick TKR over other alliances?

    The respond is fast...unlike others
    Boomlander

    Boomlander

    Today at 14:27
    What is the definition of the best alliance to you?
    Prime Great
     —
    Today at 14:28
    Being there for your members, that's by helping them both in guides and quick response to their cry of helping or advice
    Boomlander
     —
    Today at 14:30
    You have come to the right place then
    How long will you plan to stay in TKR?
    Prime Great
     —
    Today at 14:33
    I don't plan on leaving politics and war, so, why leave the alliance...where the admins respond unlike those I joined and quit almost immediately.
    Boomlander
     —
    Today at 14:35
    That's great! But I do have few more questions.
    What would you do if TKR would ask you to do something which you do not want to do? (We never ask people to break the game rules). Explain.
    Prime Great
     —
    Today at 14:40
    Am a little bit of an explorer,...now answering your question with the instance...when I saved up money on P&W to build a nuclear power plant,  the objective given to me was something else -Have 10k soldiers,  which made me forfeit the nuclear plant and invested in infrastructure to build barracks.

    My point is, there is no fun in a game without a sudden twist in strategy and gameplay
    Boomlander
     —
    Today at 14:42
    So, you would do it even if you didn't want to?(Y/N)
    Prime Great
     —
    Today at 14:43
    That's the fun...sudden unpredictable twist in plot..that's true gaming and test of strategy
    Boomlander
     —
    Today at 14:44
    Would you be more interested in developing your own nation or enjoying a chat with the community?
    Prime Great
     —
    Today at 14:46
    Honestly, I'll be interested in both
    Boomlander
     —
    Today at 14:49
    And final question:
    How do you see yourself contributing into keeping TKR a successful alliance?
    Prime Great
     —
    Today at 14:50
    In anyway I can...hoping to be a very active member and to contribute in the way I can best.
    Boomlander
     —
    Today at 14:53

    Prime Great

    Today at 15:03
    Where? At the top of this conversation?
    Ragnar-Danneskjold
     —
    Today at 15:03
    This
    As long as you don't break game rules you'll be fine, but this can help reassure people that you aren't trying to have multis
    Prime Great
     —
    Today at 15:05
    I would try it out
    But where I am now I can't easily access a pen and paper
