<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 894541, member: 15929&quot;]Are those few 1974 Aluminum Cents that are secretly traded for hundreds of thousands of dollars not collectible anymore??</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What about those plastic tax tokens? Or maybe those Bank Notes of the colonial era?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Folks need to understand that pride can be a very expensive proposition unless of course, you don&#039;t really mind the US Government continuing to produce cents at twice the cost or nickels at nearly twice the cost and then passing that COST off to you at income at time?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Let&#039;s see? Last year the US Mint produced 86,640,000 thousand nickels at a cost on .09 cents a piece. That means, the US Tax Payer owes the US Government $3,465,600 to cover the cost of those .04 cent overage for each nickel.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>How much do you want to pay in 2010 so that they can balance their budget? And thank God it was a short year since the production in 2008 was 640,560,000 coins at a $25,622,400 loss!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Actually, the figures are much higher than that since I only calculated a $.04 cents per coin loss. The government should be able to produce these at $.01 cents or less apiece meaning the loss figures should acutally be doubled. ($.08 cents per coin)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
