Extra hungry tonite so i drove down to get a cake. Heard on the radio that with the price of copper and nickle,
it costs more than a penny to make a penny and over7 cents to make a nickle.

Government may start producing both in steel. :err: Even during WW II they only used steel for pennies.

Then to top it off, it was $5.29 for a plain 2inch cake with icing. :wall:

There is no inflation. :doh: :rolleyes:

Yup! 1943 for pennies!

steel comes from China now


the latest Flap over the FDA's reluctance to turn over the
names of Chinese companies that make a certain drug
that has killed 80 people in America has put their needs
above the American people's needs.

it's all tied together..... in Diplomacy :hidin:

Mr Hillary kept renewing Most Favored Nation Status in spite of Human Rights and Environmental records and now we are so dependent we can't get away. Spoke with one financial analyst and he believes the only thing keeping Americans from rising up in protest is the steady flow of cheap goods from China....

They threw Tea into Boston Harbor for LESS.........

They should stop making pennys. We don't need them.

Hmmmmm..... I wonder, how much copper would we get if we collected all those pennies that are sitting in change jars, car floors and overloaded purses?

What are you guys talking about. Pennies haven't been made of copper since a way long time ago for the same reasons. It has been zinc plated copper for I don't know 30+ years?

You should go to the bank get all the coins and sell em for scrap. You'd make a lot of money
