<p>[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 9391, member: 487"]You make a good point. The large banking systems have been using this equipment for quite some time. That is how we get so many 43 steel cents from our local bank. I have never heard the explanation for why the current metals are used in our coinage. My guess would be because of cost and the difference. To be able to quickly identify American coinage from its counterparts would seem to be a good thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
