Obama wants to change penny and nickle, Currency Reset? Mark of the Beast?
The saga continues, what is next? Those of us that have been around for awhile, and those of us who have studied monetary history, are well aware of what happens when Empires debase their currencies. We have seen Gold and Silver removed from circulation. Copper and Nickle are next, and probably even Zinc. [link to blogs.marketwatch.com]

Re: Obama wants to change penny and nickle, Currency Reset? Mark of the Beast?
From article..."President Barack Obama’s budget for the fiscal year that starts Oct. 1 says the Treasury is doing a “comprehensive review” of U.S. currency, including the production and use of coins.

Three separate studies are looking at alternative metals for production, U.S. mint facilities, and how consumers use currency.

“These studies…will result in the development of alternative options for the penny and the nickel,” the president’s fiscal year 2015 budget says."

They might as well just do away with them both, at least the penny. Costs more to make them then they're "worth"

What is worth more, a One Dollar Bill, or a Dollar in Nickles? " A nickel, in American usage, is a five-cent coin struck by the United States Mint. Composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel, the piece has been issued since 1866." Source Wiki

The Copper Penny was changed to Copper-Plated Zinc during the 1982 mint year. The Copper pennies weigh more than the Zinc ones, they also hold up much better in the elements.

Six Nickels weigh about 1.057 ounces. Ten pre-1982 pennies weigh about 1.096 ounces. Ten copper-plated zinc pennies weigh about .088 ounces. So, just as a 1964 Quarter is worth more than one minted today, so has the penny gone. Now, our last piece of value, the American Nickle, is on the chopping block as well.

If those six rolls of coins were Silver, I bet you wouldn't complain. Point is, Nickles and Copper pennies are soon to become like Silver coins. It is already getting a little tough to find copper pennies, and once the Nickle is retired, they will "disappear" as well. Think of the metals Copper and Silver as the poor mans Silver. They are still a store of value, they just lack ease of portability.

I think you miss the point. In 1964, you could actually buy something with a Silver Quarter, even a Dime. Now, $10 of Silver Quarters will set you back almost $200 to buy them. A 1934 or 1957 series One Dollar Bill can be bought for under $1.25. Those who hold paper, lose their "store of value." So, once again, what is worth more, and will be worth more 100 years from now, A piece of Linen with green ink on it, that says One Dollar, or 100 pennies?

If it were not for the "intent" of the mining companies to find Gold, and thereby recovering Copper as a bonus, the Copper price would be much higher. This holds true for Zinc and Lead as well, since they are commonly found in the pursuit of Silver. Stop shillin, start chillin. Or do you just want to argue with someone like me?
