<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Phil Ham, post: 754784, member: 5787&quot;]Since coins (except the nickel) have metal values far below the currency value, it helps the mint when coins are lost or collected.&nbsp; It is like a hidden tax.&nbsp; They should and do encourage collecting.&nbsp; They now have to figure out how to encourage losing more of them in the ponds, lakes, oceans, etc.&nbsp; Uncle Sam says it is good luck to throw them overboard.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
