<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1297216, member: 26302"]I understand sir, but if the melt value of a cent is half a cent, and it costs the mint about 2 cents to produce it, to me the difference is conversion costs. That 1.5 cents is hard to reconcile with 1/10 of a cent labor costs. Sure, the metal will cost more than melt to have it in strips or blanks, but probably not that much more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
