Might not be a bad idea if they were to use steel in the United States.

Looks like another coppor shortage cause of war times . They did a 1943 steel cent then why not now plenty of steel and with the all mighty dollar declineing it will not matter anyway

Interesting, I am curious how much a real copper penny will be worth? Double, triple its value?
