<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 2969786, member: 17665&quot;]The Mint will continue to do this as long as the dime and quarter profits to produce them cover the costs associated with the losses in the cent and nickel. Also the continued profits from all of the other offerings from the Mint show them to be one of the few government agencies to continue to make a profit. The rounding off idea continues to catch a lot of flack but once these coins are discontinued, I doubt the public will for long miss the $1.99 store sales they have become accustomed to seeing. I could also speak of lobbying in D.C. for the metals these are made of but that would be against the rules here to pursue, but it is a fact. And until Crane gets with the times and pursues polymer notes, paper notes will continue. This topic come up on a regular basis but at this point there is no end in sight for either the cent or nickel.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
