<p>[QUOTE="AgCollector, post: 158595, member: 5928"]Aluminum feels so light that I don't think it'll be used for coinage because it'll be such a change for people. But, as has been mentioned, nickel plated steel would work. Look at Canada, they've already replaced their cents and nickels with such plated steel varieties and it seems to work fine. This is the most likely scenario, in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Just thought about the fact that no US coins (except 1943 cent) has ever been magnetic... not sure if this is an absolute policy by the mint or just a coincidence, but plated steel would no longer follow this rule.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
