<p>[QUOTE=&quot;justafarmer, post: 130457, member: 3926&quot;]The main priority of the US Mint is to provide coinage to facilitate commerce. Getting rid of the cent or nickel means State Governments will have to develope new legislation addressing breakage - sales tax, interest and etc. Business and Banks would have to re-program or purchase new cash registers, accounting software and etc. Employers would have to adjust employee&#039;s hourly wages. You can&#039;t pay an employee $9.01 or $9.05 per hour if there is no penny or nickel. I know as coin collectors we spend all our time analizing things on the surface - but in real life things ussually aren&#039;t that simple. </p><p><br /></p><p>With all that said - what I am seaching for is a non-toxic, inexpensive solution that will float an object the size of a US Cent weighing 2.6 grams but will allow an object the same size weighing 3 grams or more to sink. Any suggestions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
