<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1173101, member: 18157&quot;]Good Evening!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was perusing my latest edition of Coin World (09May2011) and noticed an interesting article on Page #188 entitled...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>&quot;Norway&#039;s central bank pulling plug on 50-ore coin...Bank to withdraw smallest coin, revoke its legal tender status&quot;</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What struck me as interesting is that the 50-ore coin has the purchasing power of approximately nine (9) US cents! </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This underlines the fact that the US quarter has the same purchasing power as the 1964 cent and the US penny, nickel, and dime should be retired...and their <b>&quot;legal tender status revoked&quot;</b>. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That&#039;s not likely to happen any time soon, but &quot;a word to the wise&quot;...if it did, the FED would likely destroy any unreleased coins...which could &quot;potentially&quot; create some modern rarities. :thumb: </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s like musical chairs...when the music stops, everyone will be fighting for a place to sit. It might not be a bad idea to salt away a few of the modern rolls...just in case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
