How much is a One Euro coin really worth?

If one was to melt down a one euro coin, how much would the resuting metal be actually worth? Is the metal worth more than one euro?
Just curious.

The 1 Euro coin is bimetallic, with the following metal compositions:
Inner/Core : Copper Nickel
Outer/Ring : Nickel Brass

Mass : 7.50g
Diameter : 23.25mm
Thickness : 2.33mm

I can’t tell you exactly how much the metals are worth without knowing the precise mass and alloy ratio of the ring and core, but the coin is not more than 1 Euro in metal value.
