do we need to get rid of our Literal-piggy banks which I have full of pennies?
#2) what is the timeline before no one will take our pennies?

In the Philadelphia mint segment looked like the reporter wasn’t wearing gloves while handling a MoD dollar(?). Hope it wasn’t shipped as part of someone’s order 🙂

I added my two cents on this issue seven years ago:

In addition to saying the cent is copper, the presenter referred to a die as a “coin stamp”.

There was one point where she admitted she didn’t know anything about coins. So why couldn’t someone at CBS have found a reporter who either understood a bit about numismatics or at least could do some research first? (I know, I’m asking WAYYY too much ….)

Your report about the penny this morning. You report that 11 countries have gotten rid of the penny. You name the Netherland as the only Western European country to get rid of the penny. How can that be if Western Europe minus Brittan and Switzerland has the Euro. There has to be more than one country that has gotten rid of the penny. What am I missing

Sounds like a good article, though calling the cent “copper” isn’t very clear reporting.
