<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 719849, member: 307&quot;]If you plan it as a practice, then you must subsidize it by some other means. I can&#039;t speak about the cent, but the nickel is costing over 5¢ to make and I have heard a solution to the problem that&#039;s quite interesting to coin collectors. You don&#039;t need any change in legislation or coinage bill to make it happen either.</p><p><br /></p><p>You start coining the clad half dime. Half the size of a dime, the treasury secretary can authorize the coin himself as the denomination is currently on the books and the design has not changed in over 25 years. Where I originally heard this is when the state of Virginia hi-jacked the reverse of the Nickel a few years ago. They soon figured out that legislation authorizing any new issue would override the current law rendering it a moot point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
