<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 632501, member: 5233"]A polymer could work...I know other countries have done that. But, the metal price isn't as clear as it seems. Metal is priced by weight. I wonder if the amount of aluminum it would take to make a cent would be less than is required of zinc. If it weighed less, which it most certainly would (I believe the 1974 pattern cents weighed .93g) it should cost less than the 2.50g zinc planchet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
