<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 3985522, member: 106826&quot;]Another point to add to Randy&#039;s post: the cost of copper got to a point where materials and labor to produce a Cent cost more to make than it was worth.&nbsp; To offset the cost, the zinc core/copper plate was offered.&nbsp; Methods largely remained the same, so labor was steady...ish.&nbsp; Eventually the manufacturing method changed, improvements(?) made to the substrate/plating process to make making cents more viable.&nbsp; But that too is in challenge.&nbsp; The cent may be obsolete before we know it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
