The U.S. is following Canada's footsteps regarding the production of pennies and nickels. According to U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Giethner, our U.S. Mint intends to remove the penny and nickel coins from circulation beginning early in January 2013.
doesnt mean a whole lot.....I expect pennies will exist for quite sometime, and you will be able to get them in your change easily, without complicated accounting practices.
just picturing people trying to buy blackmarket pennies so they can get correct change.....
One ,ore step toward the "Amero". Making that whole conspiracy move closer to truth. This is a step toward a cashless system. A cashless system is easier to manipulate. It makes it easier to control people by threatening to shut thier accounts down. One press of a button and you have no access to your money.

Well it looks like I can't give you a penny for your thoughts or toss my two cents in.
Pre 1982 pennies and most every nickel to date has intrinsic value due to the metal content more than the actual demonination. I save nickels just for that reason, go ahead and laugh at me, last piece of american coin minted today with intrinsic value, kinda like how people saved old pre 1964 silver coins.
Oh yeah, found my link to "CoinFlation" that has the actual metal melt values of coins, updated to current metal prices too.
From your link "For those people who were upset by the penny and nickel going away in January, you can be assured that this is not happening; the story was fiction." Edit to add http://www.coinworld.com/ar...se-of-1-5-premature/

This needs it's own thread.
I'm so tired of people spreading misinformation. Just to spawn responses like this:

I can just see the blogger that saw the satirical article and decided to pass it off as a true story, in attempt to make the current administration look responsible for it.
