<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PennyGuy, post: 1409699, member: 17502&quot;]According to the WSJ article link above the US Mint used 16,365 tons of copper last Fiscal Year.&nbsp; The Copper Development Association reports a total US production of 2.5 million tons annually.&nbsp; So my calculator tells me that the US Mint used .655% of the total US Production.&nbsp; Then there are the two other major producers Peru and Chile.&nbsp; I&#039;d say the price of copper products will not be materially affected if the US Mint stopped using copper in production all US coinage let alone just cents and nickels.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
