<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dbblsanta, post: 288208, member: 9189&quot;]Of course, it&#039;ll probably never happen, but because the minting of pennies is becoming a hassle and not worth the money anymore, and the government doesn&#039;t want to abolish the penny, why not mint a 2 cent piece? The government could cut back on penny production by 75%, and instead mint a 2 cent coin which will be worth more than what it costs to make.</p><p><br /></p><p>My 75% figure comes from the fact that the most number of pennies that will be given back is 4. With a 2 cent coin, you would only need 1 penny at most in change. I&#039;m sure people would like getting less pennies back in change.</p><p><br /></p><p>And, hypothetically, what would be on the design? I would love to see Liberty back on our coins, but if we&#039;re going to have real people, Teddy Roosevelt would be the most deserving. On the back would be an eagle. The coin would be the size of a nickel, square shaped to distinguish it from the penny, and copper colored.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
