    If you use 1 rubel coins, sure

    I’m pretty sure the metal value of a 1 ruble coin is worth a substantially more in it’s weight in metal than 1 ruble

      Double-checked, and you’re right.

        While true for the penny at least ($0.03 melt value(for solid copper pennies before 1982)) 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.
