I know the mint makes billions of cents each year but over 20 years! Imagine if each year kids collected 400,000 more than the year before.&nbsp; Over the years, the numbers would be mind boggling.&nbsp; That doesn&#039;t say much for the future collector&#039;s.&nbsp; As for melting for copper, which is what is going to happen from every display they have over the years.&nbsp;&nbsp; Once these coins are counted and returned to the government for cash do you really think they are going to return these into circulation! Yes, the 30% return if fine now, but is anyone thinking of the damage is will be do to the future of the licoln cent?&nbsp; Can this be the governments way of abolishing the lincoln cent? sounds easy enough, just let the kids collect them and then melt them.&nbsp; How can any collector have an accurate mintage if the government melt&#039;s millions or even billions of cents each year.&nbsp; This is added to the millions they must melt each year now.&nbsp; Why stop at pennies, why not start a collection of nickels or dimes! Does anyone see a problem here? Or am I the only one? i find this very disturbing to say the least.&nbsp; Just my 2 cents worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ron[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
