<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1575669, member: 4626&quot;]It&#039;s been argued many times that the US should stop minting the penny, as it costs more than its face value to mint (so does the nickel for that matter) but there&#039;s no plans to do so any time in the definite future; pennies were minted in 2011, in 2012, and the mint plans to keep minting them indefinitely unless/until Congress tells them to stop.</p><p><br /></p><p>On a side note, this will be the last year Canada is minting pennies (or cents for nitpcikers).&nbsp; The second to last one ever minted (in May, at the Winnipeg mint) was donated to ANA&#039;s Money Museum or whatever it is they call it.&nbsp; Starting in 2013 the smallest denomination coin Canada will mint will be their nickel (or 5 cent piece).</p><p><br /></p><p>R.I.P.&nbsp; Canadian cent, 1858-2012.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
