<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2515392, member: 71723&quot;]I actually love that idea for the cent; they did exactly that in 2009. The nickel will soon have its alloy changed anyway. The 75/25 Cu/Ni alloy that nickels have always been will soon go the way of the do-do bird. A new heretofore unseen stainless steel alloy will replace it one day soon. It strikes up just like cupronickel and not at all as flat as existing stainless alloy coins. I have seen and held in my hand some test strikes. Anyway, the inventor and supplier of the alloy has warned the Mint NOT TO USE IT for proof coins. It will eventually spot, especially in the fields. The wartime alloy will not be resurrected.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
