That was interesting to know....there was a special on TV this morning that dealt with copper...they said in the United States it takes .02 cents of copper to make .01 cents coin or a penny....the special recommended that the Unites States use steal for pennies instead of copper like other Countries do. But better yet if would be better for the United States just to get rid of the copper pennies altogether and just start with nickels....copper is a valuable metal with limited resources....its use can be better used elsewhere instead of coinage.
