<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 551955, member: 11521&quot;]The cent is not worth much today. I don&#039;t know of anything you can buy with one cent now. Not that long ago you could buy a piece of bubble gum with a cent but no more. Cents do come in very handy for making change. That&#039;s really their only purpose now.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It would be a shame to discontinue the Cent. It is the only continuously-produced US coin. 1793-present (except for 1815 due to a fire at the Mint). It would be a shame to lose that connection to the past. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m in favor of continuing Cent production - for now. Its demise may be forced upon us when the purchasing power of the Cent becomes more and more eroded by the inflation that is sure to come AND when the cost to make a Cent far exceeds its face value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
