<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LSM, post: 228860, member: 5859&quot;]I also read where they dumped the steel cents. If memory serves me wright the article that I read said the coins where dumped in San Francisco Bay. But actually the mint started removing the coins from circulation in 1945. About 163 million coins where retrieved, 14.9% of the total minted coins where destroyed. The mint did not reveal the removal of the coins from circulation until 1959 for fear that they be would hoarded.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lou[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
