[QUOTE="Devyn5150, post: 3543906, member: 102432"]I am fairly certain you’ve all discussed this topic before, before I was afflicted with the sport and climbed aboard. I have learnt some, not much but some. The one thing I have noticed, above the sum of the other many things is, Canada and the United States of America, have a similar experience with their coins. It really isn’t all that surprising, being such close neighbours and all but, it is interesting that we have fallen into the same sort of groove in some instances. Examples: Silver and copper composition changes and the years surrounding them. Correct me if I err... ‘82 USA lost its copper and ‘97 Canada did. Silver got axed by both in the late ‘60’s. I’m certain there are other footsteps our mints followed that I am unaware of. 2012 Canada’s 1 cent piece died... is Lincoln on his deathbed? He’d probably roll in his grave knowing he’s now made of zinc anyways. I can almost guarantee, it’s gonna happen... when’s it gonna happen? Not a pleasant thought to some but I believe it’s a realistic inevitability. [ATTACH=full]942076[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
