(undated) — Maybe this is the kind of “change” we can all get behind? It may be time to get rid of the penny. And while we’re considering that, we may also need to take a long hard look at the nickel too. We lose money on the production of both of those coins. Here’s what it costs to produce each coin:
– Pennies (3.69 cents)
– Nickels (13.8 cents)
– Dimes (5.7 cents)
– Quarters (14.68 cents)
– Half-dollars (33.9 cents)
