Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 01/21/2018 2:10 pm Not a stupid question at all. "They" absolutely have gold-plated cents as well as all other denominations of US coins. "They" do it as a marketing gimmick to sell coins worth exactly $0.01 for hundreds or thousands of times face value. "They" know that some folks will ante up big money for a coin because it has a good story and is shiny. By the way, "they" is not the US mint...

Historically, the term, huckster was applied to any type of vendor or reseller, but over time it has assumed distinctive pejorative connotations.
