<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiftypee, post: 341820, member: 4700&quot;]South Africa got rid of its 1 cent and 2 cent coins.&nbsp; They did it when it was costing them 11 South African cents to make one 1 cent coin.&nbsp; Keep in mind though that a South African Rand is somewhere in the neighbourhood of 20 cents Canadian or less.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I think they will keep making cents at a loss, up to a certain point.&nbsp; What that point of no return is - I don&#039;t know.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I was wondering why couldn&#039;t they do it like South Korea, and make their lowest coin out of Copper Plated Aluminum?&nbsp; For a good example of circulating Aluminum cents see Belize.&nbsp; I believe they have 1 and 5 cent Aluminum coins circulating.&nbsp; I wonder though how the wear is on them over time?</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways just some thoughts.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
