<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quarter-back, post: 1909040, member: 47022&quot;]I don&#039;t think that changing the alloys will affect future collecting.&nbsp; I collect coins from the German Empire through the Weimar Republic to the Third Reich.&nbsp; Everything from silver to aluminum and zinc were used and I still want one of each. In fact, my favorite coin my collection is an aluminum 50 pfennig piece.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>They probably said the same things when nickel alloy 1 cent pieces were introduced. But how many of us would turn down an 1856 Flying Eagle cent?&nbsp; In twenty years there will be a whole generation that will know nothing about &quot;pennies&quot; and I bet they will survive quite nicely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
