<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BioEtOH, post: 2040912, member: 34475&quot;]They spent that much money to research alternative metal composition for the cent and nickel but ended up with nothing. What a waste imho!</p><p><br /></p><p>Someone ought to stand up and defend the argument why we need to change the composition for these two coins. It&#039;s simple - when it costs more to produce than to &#039;sell&#039;, you use alternative materials to reduce the cost - so that it profits the business.</p><p><br /></p><p>Alternatively, they may already profit too much from other coin denominations such that they can suck up the loss from the nickle and the cent? Whatever - just don&#039;t increase my income tax too much ;-)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
