Making pennies is deemed necessary, so they do it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Mint was not founded to run on a profit - it was an expense to provide a neccesary service to the people.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>It appears it&#039;s time to change the composition to reflect metals prices, so let&#039;s get on with it... we did it in 1853 and 1873 with silver !</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
