[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7502077, member: 105098"]We are never getting rid of the cent, just never gonna happen same goes for the nickel. All you hoarders looking to cash in on melt value are gonna have to sit on your pile until you die or return them to circulation and call it a day. By the way they wouldn't have to make so many each year if people weren't hoarding them and if they didn't have to make so many each year maybe the cost for the material to make them would come down some also. So keep tossing them in jars letting them pile up, there will be more and more year after year. Lol Maybe we round everything to the nearest $100.00 and get rid of everything else below it. Just nip it in the eventual bud, then we can complain about inflation when it cost's $100 to buy anything because there's no change to make and think back that it all started with getting rid of the cent and rounding to the nickel which also is a money loser so then round to a dime, yada yada yada until the dollar has the buying power of the old Peso.[/QUOTE]
