    1. It will more likely be sooner when someone files a lawsuit and the court orders Trump to follow the law he never bothered to have changed.

  1. Let’s see, it takes almost 4 cents to make a penny. That’s going to make a hard argument to bring back. I’m sure some were distraught when the half penny went away, but we survived it.

    Btw, it takes 14 cents to make a nickel. The dime is still profitable at about 6 cents each.
