<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 2039315, member: 16729&quot;]I wonder what the &quot;collection rate&quot; for the 1 cent and 5 cent coins are?&nbsp; In other words, when 100 are issued into the market, how many are recovered by the Federal Reserve after their life in circulation?&nbsp;&nbsp; Is government recycling (melt/reuse) a consideration?</p><p><br /></p><p>Or do they even collect and recycle coins in the USA?&nbsp; Or does the Fed just keep dumping more into the market when quantities go low? ...Kinda like the engine oil in my car: I never get an oil change, I just keep dumping in new.&nbsp; Helps keep the smoke down.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve heard a dollar bill only lasts a &quot;few months&quot; in circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
