<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MadMartigan, post: 1848097, member: 58925&quot;]Half the problem was it was a cent, I mean people don&#039;t even bother to pick up cents anymore and really should be just done away with like several other countries already have.&nbsp; I just bought a 1808 half cent for my 7070 and its a VG well worn example when was the last time you even saw a cent worn enough to get to a VG.&nbsp; Our government realized in the 1850&#039;s half cents were not economically sound and did away with them.&nbsp; A cent costs nearly 3 cents to make what a waste when people just throw them in jars anyways.</p><p><br /></p><p>I mean its why people bypassed the 2009 cents with little notice.&nbsp; Then again I think your right the mint keeps churning out coins because of how well the statehood quarters did and with people hoarding them it was a huge profit for them.&nbsp; I wonder how many statehood quarters are starting to make there way back into circulation now.&nbsp; We hadn&#039;t had any coin changes in nearly 50 years when the statehood came out so yea people were excited about the new coins now they are old hat.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
