<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 341747, member: 12789&quot;]I hate to admit, but I think cents are pretty much useless, so is everything less than a dime.&nbsp; Think of the dime as the new cent.&nbsp; It has the same purchasing power that a cent did 40 years ago.&nbsp; But to remove the cent and nickel will cause a public outcry that even the Bush administration would not dare cause.&nbsp; Especially in the run up to the 200th anniversary of Lincoln&#039;s birth next year and the commems.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the older Canadian 5¢ coins are now worth 14¢ in melt value, the pre-1981&#039;s and the RCM has been contracting with others up there to remove them actively from circulation and get the melt value from them.&nbsp; But I can still find them in circulation, most recently one of the 12 sided 1961 examples with the YH of QEII.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
