This happened over here when the price of Copper increased.  However  all 
copper coins after a certain year are no longer solid copper but a ferrous  
metal that is copper plated - proved by the fact that magnet will stick to  
the more recent copper coins.  Speculation in the press about this drew the  
response that it's some sort of offence to destroy or smelt a coin of the  
realm.
