> Are they workable in an apocalypse setting?

Should be, given a solid enough smooth rock to cold work them with.

5, 10, 20 and 50 cent pieces are 75% copper, 25% nickel.
1 and 2 dollar coins are 92% copper, 6% aluminium and 2% nickel. from http://www2.abc.net.au/science/k2/st...pic102831.shtm

So should have a melting point not too different to bronze.
