<p>[QUOTE="bqcoins, post: 715688, member: 5036"]Do what now?! Once you eliminate the cent from daily life, i.e. stop releasing it into the open market it ceases being something useful. Therefore it has no place in a collectors set. It becomes a joke like the kennedy half. Who really wants to collect something for the sake of collecting it. Hoarders, thats who, only people that hoard it. The day the Kennedy half stopped entering the market was the day my album of Kennedy's ended, because they weren't "real" money anymore. They could have no more history, backstory, real collectability. So the day they stop releasing the cent into the market for daily commerce is the day the cent dies. There should be no more cents produced after that point. Think about it, the half cent went away due to inflation (partly anyway) and they didn't continue making them for collectors. Same should be said for the cent, and the half dollar for that matter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
