[QUOTE="littlehugger, post: 3506108, member: 58633"]This is true. Lots of people would immediately try and sell for a profit, and the price would bottom from the supply glut. Cents nowadays are pot metal, and have been for decades. Removing the old ones would not burden the mint. Heck, if they allowed it, half the country would try to sell, prices would drop and save the mint millions. Also, they might be silver colored, and called nickels, they are 75% copper. Have been for a long time. No squinting at dates or weighng. The mint loses even more money on nickels.[/QUOTE]
