To the people who replied to my Lincoln cent article: I can't reply
to you directly because our mailer only says your mail came from "root".
I'm afraid I don't need them in such bulk anyway.  Sorry to make
you type me messages.  The only good reply came from someone here.

I don't know why I submitted my Lincoln penny query....  Do I want to
drive all over the country buying them?  Do I expect people to mail
me their coins?
I guess I just figured net.rec.coins was underutilized.  It is.  Does
anyone know what we should talk about here?

Some starters:
   1.  Is it true that the copper/zinc cent is going to be phased out
       next year?  What will replace it?  Very small platinum coins?
       Squares of aluminum foil?
   2.  Anyone seen the 1982 Canadian cents?  They're not really round!
       They're polygonal!  Is this so the blind can identify coins
       by feel?  Really; that was one of the major complaints about the
       US Susan B. Anthony dollar coin -- She looked and felt like
       George Washington.  I mean -- that woman was ugly.
