<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3456123, member: 66&quot;]My prediction is once they stop making them they will be effectively gone from circulation within about one year.</p><p><br /></p><p>People won&#039;t be hoarding them because they will be valuable.&nbsp; Just the opposite.&nbsp; People don&#039;t carry and use cents because they have no real value.&nbsp; They don&#039;t go back to banks anywhere near as fast as they leave banks to businesses for making change.&nbsp; Right now that shortfall is made up by the mints making another 8 or 9 billion of them a year.&nbsp; Once they stop, businesses will quickly find they can&#039;t get cents anymore and will HAVE to start rounding.&nbsp; Once that happens businesses will stop asking for banks for cents.&nbsp; Then when cents DO come back in from hoards there will be no one asking for them and the banks will send them back to the Fed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting question for our Canadian members here.&nbsp; Have the Canadian cents disappeared from circulation?&nbsp; And if so how long did it take?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
