Re: Bullion, coin dealers call for investigation of U.S. coin blanks supply
If they are losing money on the pennies and nickels, their only cheaper option for the pennies is steel or plastic. I do not think they would do steel, so that leaves plastic or elimination of the penny. If they go to plastic it reinforces that we are now a banana republic and if they eliminate the penny they admit inflation even though the cpi is supposidly at 0%.
