I originally wanted to do a post on the subject of how expensive it is to have and use coins and it led me to realize how the government spends (and acts) irresponsibly. Then, there was so much data on the subject matter and I wanted to keep it short for a post. So, I am leaving a lot out, combining TWO points and leaving enough room for comments...... What it costs to make the following: PENNIES.......to make a penny or 1.38 cents...........NICKLES......to make a nickel or 8.83 cents To manufacture the pennies and nickels per year causes a loss $100 (17 comments)
