Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 04/17/2010 07:48 am I assume it's called "2010 and Beyond" on the US Mint website because it's planned to be the new standard reverse design for the cent from now on. Whether they decide to keep it and/or issue further commemorative cents is entirely up to future administrations. And of course it can't be too much longer before the cent is discontinued. But while it lasts, the shield design is now normal. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 04/27/2010 10:15 pm If the "one cent" disappears, doesn't it defeat the purpose of having 100 cents in a dollar? The nickel would be the lowest, being worth 1/20th of a dollar. Strange is all. Report this Post to the Staff

No, because electronic transactions (which are continually increasing while cash transactions decrease) will remain accurate to the cent.
