<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 26071282, member: 4626&quot;]There&#039;s no reason this means we would have to mint more nickels, and they wouldn&#039;t be needed in change more than they&#039;re needed now.&nbsp; Evidence: when Canada eliminated their cent, they did not need to mint any more 5 cent pieces to make up the difference.&nbsp; We wouldn&#039;t either.&nbsp; The most nickels you&#039;d need in any transaction is one, they wouldn&#039;t be needed any more often than we need them now, would only need them for cash transactions which we&#039;re doing less and less often; there is no evidence they would be needed more.&nbsp; And even if we did, legislation could be passed to make them out of less and/or cheaper material.&nbsp; None of these are reasons not to stop minting the penny.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
