<p>[QUOTE=&quot;girldly, post: 2148866, member: 74386&quot;]Let me ask this....aren&#039;t there scientists who work on the elements that go into a coin?&nbsp; And didn&#039;t they work in the early 70&#039;s to try and produce a less expensive cent?&nbsp; And during such time, why couldn&#039;t an experimental element/metal mix planchet been made, and then a cent was struck on it?&nbsp; And no one caught it?&nbsp; Prior to the aluminum cent, there had to be people working diligently on the mixture of materials that go into making a less expensive planchet?&nbsp; Since ours is dated 1972, this would seem to be during the time they were working on making a less expensive penny/cent.&nbsp; &nbsp; This is all we could think it might be.&nbsp; When I watched how they inspect a batch of coins, they don&#039;t check each one...they look at a full tray of coins.&nbsp; Maybe this on slipped through?&nbsp; Since it carries the correct weight of a cent...maybe no one caught it in the batch and it was sent to the Federal Reserve for public distribution?&nbsp; Open you mind up, you seem very intelligent...There has to be an answer.&nbsp; I will admit, it someone plated this, would not the weight be more?&nbsp; I have no idea...Does a plated coin weigh more?&nbsp; Plus, what about the scientists?&nbsp; Any thoughts on this?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
