<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 103640, member: 4626&quot;]Think you&#039;ll find there will be quite a lot of stubborn resistance to phasing out the one cent coin for quite a long time.&nbsp; But if it is to be discontinued, it will have to be forceful, for the same reason that nobody will ever use a $1 coin over a $1 bill if they have a choice about it.&nbsp; I would predict that it will be easier to get rid of the $1 bill than the penny, and that will be hard enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly if we&#039;re talking about coins that are a waste of money to mint... why are they still minting millions of half dollars that seldom if ever see circulation?&nbsp; Either an effort should be made to get them to cirulate again, or they should cease to be minted except for mint sets.&nbsp; The penny may cost more than 1 cent to mint... but it least it&#039;s being used.&nbsp; As a collector I&#039;d hate to see the half go... but from a practical standpoint, why is it still being minted?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
