<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 2484970, member: 71234&quot;]Why not simply stop minting them. If they are effectively useless, there must be plenty already to go around (is anyone short of them?) and as a bonus for collectors they could make some minimal number, say, 100,000 or even 10,000 in each succeeding year for people to hunt down. They could continue to issue them in mint sets and proofs as Britain does with silver pennies and 2, 3 and 4 penny coins in Maundy sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>There should be no need for any legislation, they would still be minting them, just not so many, and if anyone asks, they just say why make stuff you don&#039;t need?</p><p><br /></p><p>As the number in circulation declines (and what happens to them, by the way?) over the years their value will also decline till no-one misses them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
