<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 8232333, member: 43872"]Perhaps I should have said, "Why should they?" instead of "Why would they?" You're probably right there would be some angry over it, but I don't think the mint cares about that. I don't even think businesses would really object to having to round prices up for cash transactions. Electronic transactions could continue to be to the cent if they liked. The only people really hurt by it would be the people who mine and sell zinc. Copper usage would not change much because there would be a slight increase in demand for other denominations of coins, all of which use copper. But the mint could issue proof only cents in pure copper, brass, silver, even gold, all at huge profit to the mint and satisfaction to the collectors who just have to have one of each.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
