<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 715252, member: 6036&quot;]Here&#039;s some food for thought...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Much is made about the cent costing more to make than face value. Here are some questions.</p><ul> <li>How much money are we talking about (dollars per year) ?</li> <li>Do other denominations cost more to make than face value ? If so, why single out the cent ?</li> <li>Are there denominations on which the Mint makes money (i.e. the face value is more than total cost of manufacturing) ? If so, how much money are we talking about ?</li> <li>Government isn&#039;t in operation to make money (obviously ! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). They operate to provide service to the public, and those services cost money. Is it so wrong to make cents which cost more than 1c ?</li> <li>Why do dogs have black lips ? (just wanted to see if you&#039;re still listening)</li> </ul><p>Most importantly... why does no one ask these questions ? Aren&#039;t they relevant to having a broader, reasonable view of Mint operations ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
