<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 7848682, member: 103207"]They should have gotten rid of the cent back in 1982. However, people are still using them but, normally I only see them going in one direction. And that is a cashier giving you change. I don't see to many people pulling them out of their pockets when buying something. </p><p><br /></p><p>I've always wondered why the mint uses the junk cents in Proof sets. You would think for the cost of a proof set they could use the original alloy. In less than fifty years will we be seeing the cent in our proof sets as just a pile of corroded goo and the ones from before 1982 still looking nice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
