<p>[QUOTE=&quot;YNcoinpro_U.S., post: 135978, member: 3225&quot;]I see the cent as a dwindling piece of coinage in our countries history as of now.&nbsp; I believe that the cent may turn into an only proof collectors coin in a few years, but lose it&#039;s purpose as a tool of trade.&nbsp; I base this theory off of the Three Cent Silver/ Nickel coins of the mid 1800&#039;s.&nbsp; These coins were okay for trade at first, but soon turned too complicated an exchange to make that it was primarily coined as proof and only shortly after died as a coin.&nbsp; To connect the cent&#039;s monetary value to the unpopulr three cent coins shows how these lower denominations ended.</p><p>Finally, I think that the country needs cents in circulation as a means of exchange, but I think that the mint&#039;s will slim down on the number produced every year and let those already in circulation take on their continuing roll in circulation with less melting of the coins.</p><p>I still enjoy the fact that Abe&#039;s likeness is still portrayed on the cent after almost 100 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
