<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2320031, member: 69760&quot;]Realistically, I think that the Mint will eventually eliminate the penny. But until then, they may look at ways of reducing its mass like what the beverage industry did to the aluminum can - they found ways to optimize the can&#039;s geometry by reducing aluminum by 1% or so. That may not sound like a lot but when you&#039;re producing millions of them, it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Along those lines, perhaps the US Mint may switch from high relief to deep incuse, and not just for pennies! As one member recently noted on here, the Mint has already been reducing the relief heights on coins year after year, so it may not be too dubious a scenario.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
