<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1945950, member: 19463&quot;]The difference I see here is the nearly decade gap between US large cents and copper small cents.&nbsp; Between them were the copper nickel cents which would be more likely to be accepted at par with the larger coppers.&nbsp; Using the theory of what is needed by commerce at the time the US stopped issuing half cents, there is no reason we still have cents or nickels at all.&nbsp;&nbsp; &#039;Modern&#039; cents are toys for those who are in denial of how far their currency has declined in value useful mostly for some places to claim their 99 cent burger is a better deal that the $1 at the chain next door.&nbsp; You know what the government thinks of pennies when you do your taxes and are told to round off to whole dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
