jbuck Moderator United States 187572 Posts	Posted 09/15/2014 10:26 am It is actually time to quit minting the cent for circulation. Actually, it has been that time for more than a few years. I do support its continued minting for collectors (mint sets, proof sets, and even rolls), at a premium (of course) and only in bronze (95% copper). All of that being said, I see no reason to take Lincoln off the cent, unless we remove all of the dead people and return to Liberty.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 09/17/2014 4:56 pm With the exception of the dollar coin, I think all of our currency is "locked" to its current dead president 'til kingdom come. The founding fathers (Washington and Jefferson) probably won't move for anything, and neither will Lincoln. Roosevelt might eventually get replaced once the last people who remember him start to pass away--I heard rumors that Reagan might eventually be featured on the dime, but that was right after he died. Kennedy probably would get replaced if the half wasn't frozen as a NIFC denomination. Barring an assassination, I don't think the current lineup of dead white guys is going anywhere.

Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 09/21/2014 10:39 am I can imagine the uproar if someone Congress started the process to remove Lincoln. Who do you want on it? Robert E Lee? Pretty sure Lincoln isn't going anywhere until the penny is no more. Report this Post to the Staff
