Maestro Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 So, The United States Mint -or whomever else is responsible for such things- has decided to 'forge' a new coin: http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/91843 Mildly interesting, anyway...

ozzy85 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I agree with the one comment there. They're spending money redesigning something of no value that may get discontinued? They should put me on the coin, seeing as that's about what kind of money I earn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workingcinderellaman Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 It has to cost more to make a penny than what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 glad to see that there are no pressing problems to deal with so they can get on with the redesign of the penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nettiesaur Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 A little something for the coin collectors who have all the quarters and nickels, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly why pennies are made of a zinc/nickle alloy rather than copper as they were in my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
