What's Next For The Humble Roosevelt Dime?

Bring back Liberty! Bring back Liberty! Bring back Liberty!

I think that The Mint is playing a whole big joke. FDR was longest in Office as POTUS. Therefore the 10 Cent Dime will never die!!!!

It was mentioned earlier in this topic but inflation is eroding the dime's usefulness even further than it already is. It needs to go, along with the nickel and cent. I say this while my desk is littered with dimes, cents, and nickels waiting to be examined and sorted.

We all know the cent and nickel are already useless except to us collectors, and inflation is further driving down their value. Maybe the final nail in the coffin for these?

Its coming. The Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 was signed by President Donald Trump on January 13, 2021. It provides for, among other things, special one-year designs for the circulating coinage in 2026, including the dime, for the United States Semiquincentennial (the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence). This section of the legislation allows the Treasury to redesign, for the year 2026, every other circulating U.S. coin—the Lincoln Cent, the Jefferson five-cent nickel, the Roosevelt dime, and the Kennedy half dollar.

There are a lot of hidden costs with cents. The net cost to the economy is likely in the 6c area but many of these coasts are difficult or impossible to quantify. Many of the costs of producing these worthless slugs is simply shifted onto other denominations just as is the burden of producing 15 billion coins annually.

Pennies have so little value now that we lose money every time they are counted since even using machines the time required exceeds the pay of those counting them. The longer they last in circulation the higher the price but tossing them in the trash doesn't help because they'll just spend 3 1/2 cents to make a new one.
