I'd rather get "junk silver", i.e., silver dimes, quarters, etc. One dollar in face value of junk silver equals about .715 ounces of silver. Silver has been used as money for ages. Plus, it takes less storage space because each coin is worth more.
The pipe thing has always been a trick for long term firearm storage.
I saw a video of a guy who pulled one out after being underground for years, right after Ruby Ridge happened, and dug it up quite recently. The gun was in flawless shape, no water infiltration. You HAVE to be careful due to water issues and seal the pipes with either caulk or rubber cement. It would also be a good idea to vacuum pack items if they're valuable.
As for nickels.... (It's half full ATM).

Go to Vegas and play nickle slots... This way you get free drinks while collecting your nickels!!!
You can find old school machines that use real coins at some of the low end casinos still, especially downtown.
Edit:
beat me too it.
