<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1908827, member: 15929&quot;]The last Coin World I received had an article on proposed changes to the alloys used for United States Coinage and how the US Mint is seeking &quot;Stakeholder Input&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, the &quot;stakeholders&quot; aren&#039;t the citizens of the country that read where it costs 2-3 cents to produce a single Lincoln Cent or that it costs up to 10 cents to produce a single nickel and continujng to produce these coins in their current alloys is an exercise in wasting money, the stakeholders are the folks that use these coins for some type of profitable business such as vending machines and change machines and/or slot machines.</p><p><br /></p><p>While reading some of the published feedback, it dawned on me that the current philosophy of the Treasury Department to &quot;ask the people&quot; on what to do is much the same as an engineer on a train asking the passengers on whether or not he should slow down since damage has been reported on the tracks at some unknown location ahead.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not understand why the sheep are asking the wolves for guidance on what should be done to save tax dollars instead of simply taking the necessary steps to correct the problem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
