COIN COUNTER AT BANK SEPERATES COPPER PENNIES-- PIC ADDED

[rydiggaahh]

hello everyone. just wanted to throw something out there. i returned some of my coins to my bank using the coin counter. when the reciept prints out it has two catagories for pennies. old and new. thought it was interesting. seems like copper pennies are being pulled from circulation.

If the counting machines can tell the diffrence between a Canadian dime and a US dime im sure it could tell the diffrence between silver and clad.

You would think so.

What's the weight difference between a silver rosie VS a non silver?

As within the last 20 years I have heard of legislation being proposed to do away with the penny.

I believe the cent will be around until at least 2009 as I believe I read that Congress has already passed a law about the redesign for the 100 year anniversary and I believe there are 4 designs that will be issued that year.

Will the cent be made of the same material? Who knows, but it should be around for at least a couple more years in some form.


Note on the Canadian vs. US dime. The machines pick out the Canadian dimes because they are magnetic, not by weight, of course this doesn't work with the silver Canadian dimes.
