<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1374212, member: 22143&quot;]The real story missed here is they are having to make this move because the $ has been devalued so much, that they can no longer use copper, zinc, &amp; nickel in coin production.&nbsp;&nbsp; Coinage is an alternative currency to paper and they have to make absolutely sure the metal value doesn&#039;t exceed the face value on the coin.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 29% of the total money supply was created in just the last 4 years and they show no signs they plan to stop the printing.&nbsp; Else no more $T deficits.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A generation ago they removed copper from the penny.&nbsp; A couple of generations ago they removed silver for the same reason and gave the same excuse.&nbsp; It&#039;s been so long since gold was used that most of the current generation has difficulties in believing that gold was ever used for circulating coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>It doesn&#039;t really matter what the next choice will be because in time, it will become too expensive too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
