<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1379713, member: 26302&quot;]Who can prove it? Are there isotopes planted into cents proving they were in coinage? If someone were paranoid about it, why not throw in a few pounds of copper from other sources to throw the content off?</p><p><br /></p><p>I just think this stupid rule is in place to scare refiners away from massively melting, and giving the mint time to come up with a substitute plan, (or for Congress to get off their rears about it). I am thinking sometime after the election after the politicians aren&#039;t so afraid of getting voted out over pennies they wll do something. I am afraid they will see, however, that our mint has such high expenses they may never again make a profit unless they start making one and two dollar coins, while removing the same bills from circulation. The mint simply has too high of overhead to break even unless it has a lot of coins with high seignorage to produce.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
