[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 422170, member: 6229"][SIZE=5]One of my favorite things to do is to read all the "letters to the editor" in every issue of all the coin publications I subscribe to and check all the complaints, new coin finds, mint ordering problems, suggestions, pet peeves, etc. Lately the overwhelming subject is whether to do away with the one cent and five cent coins because each coin costs more than face value to produce. (recent declines in metal prices render this to be untrue, especially for nickels). About 50% are pro-elimination and 50% are pro-keeping them. All of you who are concerned about the government spending too much to keep the cent and nickel, let me ask you this: "Is there any United States government branch or department that makes a profit?" The Creation of the United States Mint wasn't to make a profit. It was created to produce a sound coinage that would be accepted at face value throughout the United States. This has been done so successfully other countries have tied their currency to the U.S. Dollar or use the same denominations in their coinage ( i.e. Cent, Five Cents, Ten Cents, 25 Cents, 50 Cents and One Dollar). The second most numerous voiciferous collectors are complaining about the high number of mint creations. Not about circulation coins. Not about mint sets or proof sets. Not about bullion coins. But about the number of commemorative coins being foistured on the numismatic market. Specifically the State Quarters, Presidential Dollars, President Wives gold pieces and the like. You know what? This complaint echoes back to the numismatic complainer of 1936. Yes, 1936!
