Beerball Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 The country is getting itself into a pickle. It now costs more than a penny to mint a penny. Perhaps they will be outlawed.

The cost to consumers if the penny was outlawed would be FAR greater as you can be sure that retailers will make sure things round up a nickel instead of down. CW
Wacka Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 I's the cost of copper. Pennys for a long time have been a veneer of copper over some zinc alloy. In the late 70's I thin, the veneer got really thin. Take a penny from the 60s and one from now. Drop them on a table. You can hear the difference. Make them out of steel (or some other metal)like in 43 when all the copper went to the war efort.

Buffal0 Bill5 Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 I guessed right, my wife guessed g. As to the penny dillemma, I think they should make pennies every five years instead of yearly, and make it illegal to hoard pennies. I know I have a gallon in the other room. The fine for hoarding...Your pennies.
