<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stuporman, post: 147537, member: 5989&quot;]The subject of the mint no longer minting cents came up on another (non-numismatic) board I frequent.&nbsp; Someone asked if they stop making the cent will it still be legal tender, if not why, and if so how long will it circulate before we stop seeing it in commerce.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here is the thread I am talking about:</p><p><a href="http://realcent.forumco.com/topic~TOPIC_ID~204.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://realcent.forumco.com/topic~TOPIC_ID~204.asp" rel="nofollow">http://realcent.forumco.com/topic~TOPIC_ID~204.asp</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Is the information in the original post in this thread correct? (odd denominations, the trade dollar, etc.?)&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I never really thought about it, somehow I assumed if they stopped making the cent they would give a timeframe to cash them all in and that would be that.&nbsp; I wonder though.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, what would stopping minting the cent mean to lincoln cent collection, do you think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
