<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Half Dime, post: 26051583, member: 153164&quot;]Not trying to be political, but him trying to eliminate the penny may be the worst thing to happen. Pennies may be worth more than 1 cent in melt value, but there are still <i>billions </i>left in circulation. I personally estimate that at least 25 billion are circulating, which is a large lot. I&#039;m gonna get a little mathematical.</p><p><br /></p><p>Trying to take out pennies is probably something they are doing to try and make money, to where the penny market may be cornered. The thing is, 25 billion pennies is 10 million boxes. That is approximately 75 million inches by 40 million inches, or 6.25 million feet x 3.33 million feet. Multiply that, and it takes up 208,333,331,250,000 feet - that is over 208 <i>trillion </i>square feet. They could try, but no matter how much money they got, they ain&#039;t gonna have the room.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
