Thanks again for the educational and economical information, Maneco64. The last time I heard, it costs more to produce the one-cent penny and five-cents nickel (USA) than their face value. Specie money loss. USA Nickels' Copper/Nickel content value, alone, has been over nine cents, before. Today, about four cents. Even lower-priced zinc prices have made the current zinc cent (no longer copper) production an issue. Today, 1982 and older copper cents have almost two-cents copper content. Maneco64 has the best classes.
