<p>[QUOTE="quartertapper, post: 1361945, member: 16104"]The Canadians have been using a copper plated steel cent for years, and it is working well for them. I think a better solution would be to end production of the one cent denomination. They stopped production of the half cent denomination in 1857 because of its lack of purchasing power. Inflation has increased probably a hundred times since then. Please explain why we still have this coin in production. I'm at a loss.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
