[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1099107, member: 15929"]From a collecting standpoint, nothing could be better for cents than to eliminate them. Prices for modern stuff certainly would not go up but interest in the coin series would get a helluva shot in the arm. "They're eliminating what???" <gasp> How many collectors actually have more than 1 2010 zincoln anyway? How many head off to the bank, endlessly buying and searching rolls for that perfect 2010 zincoln for their Dansco? Who REALLY cares whether or not they continue to produce these other than the folks that supply the raw materials for them? Literally nobody uses them other than to throw into a "pocket change" jar which then gets hauled off to the CoinStar machine to get shipped back to the bank only to repeat the process. How many folks pay for their lunch using cents? Or do folks just fork over $20 bills, get their change, which then gets tossed into the Pocket Change Jar?
