I bet it wouldn't be profitable at all. I think they just made them for fun to change things up a bit. I have seen one and it confused me, I kept thinking it was a quarter...meh.

You think the treasury dept. is going to spend money on changing the quarter just to make things fun? lol ;)

They have made millions by way of collectors buying up all those new state quarters. They are hoping to make more by changing the nickel.

Anyone remember The Onion article about putting every county on the penny? :laugh:
