Really, I can&#039;t think of a thing that cost one cent.</font></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Maybe businesses and consumers can make the cent obsolete by refusing to use it, like they&#039;re doing with the golden dollars. Businesses could round up or down prices to a nickel and consumers could round up and pay more or throw the change (cents) in the tray on the counter (or take cents from the tray). </font></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">If the cent is discontinued, that should help the value of the existing cents, as they disappear from circulation.</font></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">I&#039;d say the shield is here to stay - I bet for the remainder of the cent&#039;s use (up to 10 years).</font></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Hey, I can&#039;t believe no one has mentioned yet that it&#039;s a cent, not a penny. lol</font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
