<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 2280433, member: 17665&quot;]I don&#039;t get worked up over it but it is my tax money that funds the U.S. Mint. You are correct that the dime, quarter, half and dollar coins make up the overage in what it actually cost to make a cent, BUT, how much more profit would the Mint make, that could go back into the general funds if this were not made any more. This is not exactly a good business model. Even Richard Pryor figured this kind of thing out in a Superman movie. I think if someone here that was good at math figured how many cents were made each year X 6 cents each the difference could buy you a nice vacation home, a tropical island, a Renoir painting, a flight to outer space on Branson&#039;s shuttle with a whole lot more left over. Just sayin&#039;. Kind of reminds me that it costs less than $10.00 to make an I phone and then charge $600.00 for it. Now THAT&#039;s a good business model. I say stop the circulating cent and just keep making them for collectors to order from the Mint. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
