[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 3604553, member: 74863"]How can you compare real works of art (Wheat & Memorial) to the design equal to that of a 6th grader? Smart people were complaining about the Zinc Cent before it was in circulation. There is some very ugly money in circulation, Zinc Cents, as it can't hold up to the use it receives. How long has this been going on? Did you just wake up and notice this? Why complain now? The saddest thing about all this is not the meaningless boring design, it's not the lowgrade metal being used to mint cents nor is it that it has taken you this long to notice and speak up. It's the fact that our government has no plans to change the design or the composition of the Cent.[/QUOTE]
