The cent is basically worthless...what can you buy for a cent? Nothing. Would a symbol like this mean something to someone...yes, it probably would. It might not to you or I, but to someone it would. You're comment of "LOL" to their statement that "The penny is the least of our coins in America and to many people, it is almost worthless. Though some find it hard to believe that something with such a small monetary value can mean so much just by stamping a cross into it" was both <b>rude</b> and <b>insensitive</b>. That was my "2 cents" to this discussion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I think it would be kind of a neat find in my change to find one of these. I tend to like finding various unique stampings on coins and I hang on to them as "fun finds." As for the government discontinuing the cent or not...that's what I don't care about. If it was up to me, I would get rid of it because it is worthless...retailers would adapt. But, in the end...I really don't care (same goes for the half dollar).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
