<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 158264, member: 669&quot;]No conspiracy here.&nbsp; For the 138 years from 1865 (the original &quot;nickle&quot; was a 3¢ piece), through 2003 -&nbsp; the only exception to the one year-one nickle rule was 1942, when there were both regular and wartime silver coins minted. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Now, we&#039;re done with the Lewis &amp; Clark anniversary and reverting from circulating commemoratives back to plain vanilla coins, albeit with the first new regular nickle design in 2/3 of a century.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since elimination of the nickle as a circulating denomination would take an act of Congress - 435 Representatives, 100 Senators, and a half-dozen or so non-voting territorial representatives; none of whom blow their noses without consulting their large staffs - there are just too many people to hide a conspiracy to secretly take away our five-cent pieces. Can you say &quot;leaks&quot;? :secret:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
