<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 1494557, member: 23626&quot;]There has been a cry to cease production of the Cent for the last 30 years. At some point, the only coins minted will be strictly for collectors, as we evolve into a cashless species. Electronic transfers are more economical, completely traceable and subject to 100% taxation. Given that each successive generation relies more and more on electronics and the complications they do away with, I think it&#039;s inevitable. However, probably not for some time yet, as there will be resistance by&nbsp; those government entities that feed off an underground economy which must have cash transactions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Governments can balance the loss of minting coinage against the profits of printing currency, so that isn&#039;t much of a factor. The cent may go, but I don&#039;t think it will go away soon. IMHO</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
