gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 07/14/2009 03:11 am I wouldn't be too suprised if the mint is concerned about the huge flux of metal prices. Fortunately metal prices have fallen, in particular copper and nickel. I remember doing some simple calculation last year and was shocked of how much the metal content alone was worth.

Is that what really happens in Rome? And I wonder if the RBA would change the size of the coins, too. The current 10c coin is a bit big for the lowest denomination coin. No, this is not what happens in Rome. In Finland they got rid of the 1, 2 and 5 cent coins, but in italy everything is as it is in every other country. Perhaps some people round up, but then what if you want to buy something for 50 cents? It gets rounded up to €1? I don't think so. Report this Post to the Staff

RAM will be following instructions received from Treasury. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
