You will always see me championing the cent to remain in existence as NIFC—in bronze if possible. But I'm a little surprised at the lack of appeal to keep the penny for numismatic purposes. They are so cheap it makes for a perfect entry point to coin collecting. So even if new penny are not minted. I hope they become NIFC mint sets, and that people can still get them at banks.
