[QUOTE="chip, post: 1528970, member: 19122"]I voted yes, it was a mistake, while the coin is costing more to produce then its nominal value, and there is no shortage of cents out there, why keep making more? There are many years of USA coinage where there was not a demand for the denomination, so none were minted. I would say that if it is costing 2 cents to make a cent, a cheaper answer if cents did start to become scarce, that the treasury could offer a quarter for 20 cents. They would lose less money than by producing them, and if the mint went back to minting for the demands of commerce and collectors, we would soon have some lower mintage coins for the first time in about 100 years.[/QUOTE]
