[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 698696, member: 16510"][b]Nothing that has activity associated with it is useless.[/b] Nothing that has activity associated with it is useless. I will always love the cent be it old, new or completley worthless in bying power. If we follow the logic of "buying power' alone as far as I can tell the cent, nickle, dime, quarter, and half are useless and just about the dollar - I buy nothing that stands alone that costs those amounts. I mean ask yourself do you ever really head off to the store with any of those amounts to buy an object that only costs those amounts??? I don't. My cigarettes cost almost $7 a pack - when I started smoking they were around .25 cents. Even if you go to the store to get a cup of coffee or a drink it's going to be between $1 and $2 so with any change you have left you must combine it with more to go back again. I think we will all be old and grey (some of us are already there) before the cent is elimenated. It's not dead yet with 2009 issues it is very much alive and in demand so the bottom line is, "yes it's worthless as far as buying power but still has much worth as far as coin collectors are concerned".[/QUOTE]
