<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Good Cents, post: 7849697, member: 100720&quot;]That&#039;s interesting. I wonder if we can expect the same to happen if down the line the US Cent is ever retired.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can get a roll of US Cents from any bank in the US now. But you can&#039;t get a roll of Canadian Cents from a bank, so, why wouldn&#039;t a roll of Canadian Cents be&nbsp; worth at least CAD $1 a roll? Or are they? Or is it because there are still so many out there, available?</p><p><br /></p><p>In comparison, there are likely a Hundred Billion US Cents in circulation. (If not quite a hundred billion, then close to it.) And there will be tens of billions hoarded if/when they ever decide to pull the US Cent from circulation because, well, we&#039;re a nation of hoarders. So by my calculation, whatever a roll of Canadian Cents is worth now, a roll of US Cents will likely be worth less by half, due to there being at least twice as many available. Unless the US Mint offers 2-cents on the cent to remove them from circulation. But why should they? It doesn&#039;t hurt the Mint if people hoard them out of misguided speculation. The opposite is probably true - it will cost the US Mint more to dispose of them than they are worth![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
