<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Haleiwa, post: 400735, member: 15080&quot;]Yes, I heard that this is true.&nbsp; Some guy invented a machine that can weigh the coins from before 1982 wherein the weight was 3.11grams different from the 2.5 grams of coins after 1982.&nbsp; He sucked hundreds of thousands of coins out of circulation in a short amount of time before it was discovered what was going on.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know the whole story of what happened, but I heard that it was because of the copper content and that it was his intention to melt them.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if the coins ever got melted, but it certainly was an ingenious idea![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
