Asteroid worth $10 Quintillion in iron and nickel metal ?
The Nickel Standard ?
re Hello: Can you research the possibility of converting our monetary system to one that is backed by magnetic nickel metal and mint a $1 One Dollar coin the same size as today's dollar coins , about 1/3 oz of nickel .even cheaper if electromagnets are used in the minting and delivery / storage process )
Money from Space ?
Most nickel is from asteroids from outer space...a huge asteroid near Mars is said to be of nickel ?

Unit conversion for Nickel Price Today @ 20,000 a ton
or 32000 ounces or 96000 1/3 oz coins for $20,000 USD plus mint cost It would be a psychological inflation safety net. Our currency would have value again.
The Psyche mission is a journey to a unique metal asteroid
Mission Overview The Psyche mission is a journey to a unique metal asteroid orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. What makes the asteroid Psyche unique is that it appears to be the exposed nickel-iron core of an early planet, one of the building blocks of our solar system.
As part of NASA’s Discovery Program, the mission to explore a metal-rich asteroid is well on its way to an August 2022 launch.
With NASA’s Psyche mission now less than a year from launch, anticipation is building. By next spring, the fully assembled spacecraft will ship from the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for a launch period that opens Aug. 1, 2022.
In early 2026, the Psyche spacecraft will arrive at its target, an asteroid of the same name in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Scientists believe asteroid Psyche, which is about 140 miles (226 kilometers) wide, is made largely of iron and nickel and could be the core of an early planet.
Overview
One of the most intriguing targets in the main asteroid belt, 16 Psyche is a giant metal asteroid, about three times farther away from the Sun than is the Earth. Its average diameter is about 140 miles (226 kilometers) - about one-sixteenth the diameter of Earth’s Moon or about the distance between Los Angeles and San Diego. Unlike most other asteroids that are rocky or icy bodies, scientists think the M-type (metallic) asteroid 16 Psyche is comprised mostly of metallic iron and nickel similar to Earth’s core.
Scientists wonder whether Psyche could be an exposed core of an early planet that lost its rocky outer layers due to a number of violent collisions billions of years ago
also I understand you might not like Nuclear Powers Cars and Electric Railroads..( nuclear and electric powered airplanes seem impractable at this time.) but what else has enough power to run modern cities ?
I think we should create an imaginary civilization on paper that does not have fossil fuels but instead this civilization only uses nuclear power, wind, solar power and geothermal and hydropower etc. and like devices...what problems and issues will they have ? Then we can ask how can we apply this use of nuclear power, wind, solar power and geothermal and hydropower to our civilization.
I hope Nuclear Fusion Power has a break through soon...we can't wait 30 years.
In 1958 Ford unveiled a Uranium powered concept car called, with a typically 1950’s futuristic name, the Ford Nucleon. In essence, it was a scaled down submarine reactor in the back of the car which would heat stored water into high-pressure stream which then drove two turbines, one which provided the power to the wheels and the other which drove
