Perhaps if you kept the value of the $ stable you wouldn’t have to worry about the cost of the metal in a penny or nickle. Go on the gold standard. Go Ron Paul!
If the U S mint starts making pennies from plastic, I hope they put something else in them to make them float. I metal detect the beach and find alot of the zinc pennies. Just think, kids might find a penny floating in the surf. But then how many people will pass and not pick up a coin on the ground.

Make penny out of plastic and nickel out of aluminum. Since you can recycle plastic to make pennies and recycle aluminum cans into five cent coins!
