<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 1673321, member: 33176"]Since precious metals values change, I always wondered why the early minters in the US wanted to put a penny's worth of copper in the penny. If memory serves correctly there was even a cent minted that had a silver center to increase the value without increasing the weight. Sometime gotta wonder about those founding fathers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
