<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 4124353, member: 17665&quot;]The fantasy scenario is really not so far fetched. Eliminate the cent in it&#039;s current composition and make it of plastic. Lighter, cheaper, easier to transport because of weight, etc. If my former company could make a finished syringe in the 1cc-3cc size and sterilized for less than a nickel each why could the mint not make a 1 cent coin dirt cheap? And continue to make a one cent coin for collectors out of bronze. Let&#039;s face it, their are no more machines that take one cent coins outside of elongated coin stamping machines, and the vending machine operators should have no problem with this. I&#039;m pretty confident banks and Brinks would love not to have to lift and transport all that weight. If made of polyethylene they would likely enjoy a longer life than Zincolns. Coinstar would reject them but that would be a nominal headache. Just thinking outside the box. Let the naysayers give this a shout out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
