<p>[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 561298, member: 39"]That is what the "copper" coins from most countries are made of. But even those are a nuisance to deal with, in my not quite so humble <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> opinion. Here in Euroland we have the 1 and 2 cent coins, copper plated steel alright, but in two euro countries cash totals are rounded nevertheless. Not because it would cost too much to produce the pieces, but because retailers and even many customers do not like having to deal with them.</p><p><br /></p><p>So even if the US used a different composition, there would still be the question of "are they worth it?", I think.

[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 561298, member: 39"]That is what the "copper" coins from most countries are made of. But even those are a nuisance to deal with, in my not quite so humble :) opinion. Here in Euroland we have the 1 and 2 cent coins, copper plated steel alright, but in two euro countries cash totals are rounded nevertheless. Not because it would cost too much to produce the pieces, but because retailers and even many customers do not like having to deal with them.
