Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6623 Posts	Posted Today 5H 17M ago Ridiculous. The zinc in the coin isn't that much cheaper than copper! Probably a result of zinc lobbyists, now that the cent is leaving production. Plus the Mint has incoming damaged and retired Zincolns that can no longer be melted back into a usable metal.
