<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Soda Ant, post: 370430, member: 13460&quot;]The 1943 cents were zinc plated steel, not copper plated steel, which is being proposed now. There were two problems with the &#039;43 cent: the color was not what people were used to and they confused them with other coins, and the zinc plating corroded into a black mess very quickly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Copper plated steel cents address both these issues. They&#039;ll be the same color they&#039;ve always been (except for &#039;43) and they&#039;ll probably hold up just as well as copper plated zinc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
