<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 800845, member: 68&quot;]One other consideration that gets overlooked is that the mint is so tied up making vast quantities&nbsp; of less than worthless cents that they have to run all the presses flat out.&nbsp; This means there isn&#039;t time during each strike for metal to flow into deep recesses of the die.&nbsp; To counteract this they simply keep lowering the relief which means we have unattractive low relief coins.&nbsp; This is literally the face we show the world yet we have somew of the least attractive, poorly made coins in the world.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The die shop runs full out making penny dies by the buggy full while other dies are used long beyond their useful life.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>We pay an enormous price for these coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
