What are the chances some of these boxes will vanish before they get to the customer? Now we'll have thieves following USPS looking in mail boxes just like they follow UPS & then take whatever was delivered.

I'm waiting 'till I can get them for .85 of face or so. They've gotta be running out of places to stack them.  I hope it never comes to that! |

I hope they do! I am tired of my Australasian, Canadian, and European colleagues making fun of me for having $1 bills in my wallet! |

Just because they are loosening the requirements for
getting the coins at face value doesn't mean any of
the newly entitled folks will be ordering any.
They will have to force them out, or give them away
to get any of the general public to use them.
Personally, I love the dollar bill... My .02.

That way you won't have $1 bills in your wallet to get made fun of. Then you won't have to gripe and support the taking of a bill that other folks want. |

Seriously, I think the cent should become NIFC/NCLT, just like the Half Dollar and Sacagawea Dolalrs are (well, for now). I would not miss it in circulation, but would be a little sad if the mint/proof sets did not have it. If they are so desperate to keep the dollar bill, then make all of the Presidential dollars NCLT as well. Like you have said before, they are making way too many of them to ever have a chance at any collector value. At least the recent Kennedy half dollars and Sacagawea dollars have a fighting chance! |

 .....DANG !..  ....crap !...  .... ##@**^##^>%&&@@..curses !... I can't believe I was caught saying "penny" instead of "cent" ! I'm so mad I could bite my own thumb off !...  ... ... Yeah Jbuck that's good reasoning.....  .....just keep em' in mint and proof sets for collectors.....meanwhile I'm still hoarding everything I can get my hands on for future generations of my family in case there are some miscalculations or unforseen happenings !..

The problem that I see is that if they stopped putting new cents into circulation, banks would start making it even harder for the coin roll hunters and copper hoarders to get bulk amounts to go through... |

Possibly so. I can imagine a run on the bank for cent boxes by speculators. Then these "unsearched" boxes end up on ebay; already cherry-picked, of course.  |

Yep !.....the "ending of a series" would most definately cause a "bull rush" for people wanting a last chance at em'. I can only imagine how many different "coin companies, HSN, ebay people,etc. etc." that would be gleaming at the thoughts for profits to be made off of that !......and more so each year that passes after they're gone ! |
