10, 20, and 50 cent euro coins are made of an 89% copper alloy called Nordic Gold!

This means that apart from the fiat face value, each 50c euro coin is worth approximately US$0.05 in metal commodity value. If you put a 50c euro coin aside every day, you will soon have a tidy stack of physical copper.

(I'm aware this is probably not the most economic thing you could do, and it's almost certainly more rational to cash them in to buy silver, gold, or stocks. It makes for a fun idea though.)
