<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 3475144, member: 19250&quot;]First of all you are correct the mint does need to stop minting the cent as well the half a dollar.</p><p>They both are pretty much useless demonations at this day and age,as there is truly no need any longer to mint either....nor print the 1 and two dollar notes.</p><p>The mint isn&#039;t going to mint a few for would be collectors as the cost would be to high to make a profit. As demand isn&#039;t going to be what you vision.....to make it cost effective.</p><p>Canada as well as other countries have recognized the fact that they no longer need to mint or print paper or coins that aren&#039;t truly needed.</p><p>Unlike other countries the U.S. does not like change....as well as Congress passing a bill that is truly centered on the fact that one needs not attach other stipulations that have no merit to the bill being passed.</p><p>As a collector I cringe saying what I just did above, as someone who tries to think out side the box yes getting rid of the cent and half is just makes plains sense.</p><p>Unfortunately the U.S.&nbsp; quite a few policies and laws&nbsp; do not make sense....example #1 The Fed houses millions of dollars in dollar coins in an underground vault in Baltimore..... and yes the correct term is houses...as no one wants or uses dollar coins.</p><p>Yet we still mint them and build million dollar vaults to house a coin that may never see the light of day again!!</p><p>Canada didn&#039;t blow anything as their mint as well as Perth mints some of the nicest specimens in the world,which they do make considerable amounts of profit on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
