<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 971585, member: 26302&quot;]Well the metals industry have always played a disproportionate part of this debate. It was no surprise that nickel was included first in cents then in 5 cent pieces after the owner of the largest nickel mine lined the pockets of a lot of congressmen. Before that the gold interest got a new mint in SF opened, and after that the silver miners had the treasury mint hundreds of millions of morgans the country didn&#039;t need. It used to be the copper miners pushing to keep the penny, now its the zinc miners lobbying to keep the cent, and copper producers trying to get it discontinued. Cotton interests fight all bills to eliminate low denomination bills and allowing coins to circulate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Our Congress is incapable of actually leading and doing what is right for the nation without getting paid extra to do it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
