Did anybody see the ABC NEWS, on Friday? With this exposure, the old Lincoln is "doomed" for sure I think! ABC was going through the whole scenario about how many they punch out,and of course, the silly overspend on the metal, compared to the face value of the cent. 2.5 cents to every cent. Like I said,"It's Doomed"! Let's VOTE!!! I say,Yes! Keep!

<< <i>Diane Sawyer, on U.S. cent >>
Diane Sawyer as Miss Liberty would be an improvement over what we have now.
Get rid of the cent and nickel, there is no need for them. They are concerned that it will cause inflation, but at this point the wasted taxpayer dollars outweigh the slight inflation risk.
I believe that might actually qualify as an oxymoron.
<< <i>Without the cent would all cash purchases be rounded up to 5c ? >>
Yeah,until they take away the good ole nickle.... and so on and so forth...

Ok, Laura Ingraham or Sarah Palin might be a better choice.

I think Sara Palin would be better. She has a pretty strong jawline and that would work better for the brave Miss Liberty.

Why would they? There are so many out there now, they just need to use current inventory!

I suppose so. How much extra would that end up costing the average consumer? I know there are many for whom it would be trivial, but there are probably just as many for whom it might be a burden.

I'm sure it's covered in the Health Care Bill.
<< <i>Five years television free. She was an attractive woman, as I recall. >>
Good for you!!!
I went for almost all of the 80s without a TV.
With HD and surround sound, watching movies makes TV worthwhile. DVRs are great in that the viewer's time is no longer wasted by commercials.
For the topic: No decision is likely this year (its an election year after all), but economics will likely prevail in the not-too-distant future, and the cent coin will be gone.
So if this teaching is true and I don't mind the cents, who will mind the dollars ? Just pondering since television isn't occupying my space
The shop is dead. I should just go golfing.
We are getting to be a cashless society anyway.

... and a good one, too.
That reminds me of a little poem I heard when visiting Australia last year.

No - to the nearest 5 cents.

2 of 5 round down
1 is already on the nearest 5 cents!!

That won't happen , the 1c will no longer be legal tender and you'll get a certain amount of time to get rid of them at banks etc or spend them.It's already been mentioned about the huge profits the mint makes on other items yet the focus is on making even more at the publics expense.It'll be fun to hear the same people whinging a year down the line that were first to say get rid of the cent and it will occur , cos people like to whinge.

Then what happens when they factor in tax? Will that be rounded up to the nearest 5c as well?

<< <i>I don't like the idea of rounding transactions, and I like the extra precision for currency conversion purposes. With this said, why doesn't the U.S. Mint adopt a "strike as needed" policy? There are enough cents and nickels, we should not need more for at least a decade. If and when production resumed, the mint could chose a comparable weight composite material for the new pieces. >>
Every time you buy gas, the transaction is rounded.
...linky for OP
I didn't see her regarding the cent story, but I'll guess it was "back to you, Diane", followed by some vapid comment about her remembering a time in her youth when there used to be "penny candy".....

All coins and currency, whenever issued, of the USA are legal tender for all debts. Why should the cent be any different.
****
Speaking of sayings - here is my mother's of many decades ago. "Never break a dollar - too quickly gone."
Tha was a self fufilling prophecy as she tried to make every purchase out of her change purse.

To update the saying it's "don't break a twenty" now.
Of course it's hard to do when a tank of gas is $80 and they hate cash.
As for those "People for Common Cents", who appear just to be a shill set-up fr the lone Zinc producer, and those people at the Lincoln Foundation, or whatever it was....... how anyone today can justify minting cents at such a finacial loss is beyond me. If we'll miss Abe so much, let's just put him on the next round of golden dollars or whatever.......
One last comment about that ABC news story................ was anyone else shocked to see them let the reporter grab an armful of cents from the bin & let them run thru his fingers? Wouldn't it be nice to get a fresh UNC roll or a Proof set with his fingerprints all over the pennies?!

Didn't we just put him on just about everything that came out of the Mint?
Why is the big interest in saving the mint money ? In the long run they are not losing money in the grand schemes of currency as far as i know. I can't help see it as the people being systematically plundered. The gold for paper , the withdrawel of silver and now the copper,that began in 82.It won't end with the loss of the cent , you'll get your tin coins yet

We are wasting resources. One man wants to save the planet by putting a yoke on industry and another wants to sell his zinc for the highest possible price.
Some actually want to do both while it's possible for neither to make sense.
Simple!
Have you priced tin lately?

That coin is horrible -- makes her look like Granny from Beverly Hillbillies.

Yeah, yer right ! Bring back Charles Gibson. It might be a little late on saying this but when I started this thread,typing,"Diane Sawyer,on U.S. cent..." I didn't mean, that to replace honest Abe's portrait with Diane's! After reading a few times, I guessed some of you thought that I was going there but I wasn't! Perish the thought.Sorry, to mislead anyone!Thanks for your posts.
