<p>[QUOTE=&quot;larschmitt, post: 896252, member: 24723&quot;]It&#039;s all about economics.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t make sense to keep using the same alloy if it costs more than one cent to make a cent, or more than 5 cents to make a nickel.&nbsp; That&#039;s why silver was removed from coins after &#039;64, and most of the copper from the cents after &#039;82.&nbsp; While you might take issue with the pedestrian designs of our coins and currency, you can&#039;t argue with the quality of the workmanship.&nbsp; Now if we can just get them to quit making the cents...but that&#039;s a subject for another discussion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
