	This news group has to be the most quiet of all the ones
I read.  Maybe this will get it going.  In response to the
question about Lincoln cents being minted in '83 and beyond, who
cares?  You can't call something that is going to be produced
by the billions a collector item no matter what it is made of.
My hard line stance is that making a penny is ridiculous. A
nickel nowadays is worth less than a penny was during the thirties.
Did people complain about rounding things off to the nearest
penny back then?  Why can't the penny just be dumped. I throw
the ones I get in a jar and take them to a bank when I have about
two dollars worth.  If every purchase was rounded off to the 
nearest nickel, I would come out even and save a lot of work besides.
	Can anyone come up with a good reason to keep the penny?
	They should also call the nickel a half-dime like it was
originally.
	I feel there has to be changes made to the current monetary
system of the U.S.  Does anyone have views on this?
