I see more logic in keeping the cent than keep making coins that are never used. (Halves and dollar coins only available from the mint sets) Seems...
What appears to be columns is actually bays outlines and the bottom of the memorial base behind the head. On the reverse of the memorial cents the...
Copper plated steel would be my next guess as to what will be used next. Worked on Canadian Cents for years.
Plastic. Thats cheap, everyone would be making them. LOL
Lamination peel. Lamination usually runs through the rolled copper. If you look at the left side of the coin, you can see the lamination...
Sounds like another story to me. Those rumors keep getting started and repeated. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, then I don't worry...
