Penny debate in the United States
Undid revision 1001227775 by

talk)Neither citation says that the one cents's (penny's) materials cost more than it is worth; the 2007 action in Congress was about the cupronickel material in the 5-cent, dime, and quarter dollar, since the 5-cent was approaching the value of its material. The nickel was the culprit there; not the copper. And the current penny only has 8 microns of copper around worthless zinc.Tags: UndoReverted

talk)The links to the Cents and Sensibility Act make it perfectly clear that Stivers was the author of the bill, in all its forms, and the Mint's report did not have to mention him or it by name. The two sources about the use of steel being unacceptable are very notable and reliable sources, and perfectly work with the information.Tags: UndoReverted

Added extremely relevant information regarding the Cents and Sensibility Act and the US Mint's decision on steel in US coins. The information on steel in the report was a direct result of the C&SA (I wrote the Technical Report as part of the Manufacturing Team at US Mint HQ; I should know!)
