<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 3425676, member: 15199&quot;]Also remember that the plated cents ( few solid alloy cents in circulation now) are 100% copper, not 90% and they are much, much more reactive chemically and I am sure&nbsp; the mint knew they would last less time/activity though their own experiments, but deemed the decrease in metal expense and die working&nbsp; would be better than longevity as I think they were hoping the cent would be ceased by 2020.&nbsp; Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
