<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bqcoins, post: 270291, member: 5036&quot;]I was at the shoppette today and I received .68 in change after my pruchase.&nbsp; To my surprise I saw the all too familiar wheat stalks in my hand.&nbsp; Of course my first response before flipping it over was to chant 14-d , 14-d, etc.&nbsp; Although it was a D it was not my 14, it was a 52.&nbsp; But as I sat in my car I wondered, why so few wheaties are in circulation these days.&nbsp; Up until 82 the metal was the same composition, and even now I can find plenty of copper cents in change, so its not melt value the way it was with silver coins.&nbsp; Was it just that people hoarded them out of amusement, curiousity, etc.&nbsp; Or was it that collectors pulled them out of circ en masse, or have they just been overwhelmed by the sheer billions of cents coming out of the mints these days.&nbsp; Any and all ideas and thoughts are welcome on the subject, just something to ponder, while I watch the rain through the front window.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
