The material value of this coin exceeded its monetary value due to rising commodity prices linked to the devaluing U.S. dollar. As a result, many of these coins were sent abroad for melting. The Swiss federal government eventually made this practice illegal. The collectible value of the remaining coins later exceeded their material value, leading to a decline in melting.
