<p>[QUOTE=&quot;playpossum0985, post: 26103267, member: 23806&quot;]To that I would say, the cost of minting the coins would depend on their specific metal content and weight. So, to automatically presume cost of manufacturing would exceed the face value would be an assumption at best. That is unless the presuming party is privy to the cost of refining, mixing and manufacturing of metal alloys, then maybe. I am no expert in this field, just saying it can be looked into. </p><p><br /></p><p>If it were me, I&#039;d look into the option. Like everything else the Gov. does, come with a plan, put it out for bid, and see what happens. Have the contractors come up with an alloy mix that will make the numbers work. Put the designers to work on designs. We Americans are pretty good at solving problems... when we want to! </p><p><br /></p><p>My whole point in this was to say that it is still possible, without the Cent, to have fractional coins that the math still works without an argument about who gets the 4 cents. </p><p><br /></p><p>What&#039;s surprising, is I thought all y&#039;all coin collectors would be into the idea of something new to collect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
