Once again welcome to Coin Collections Newsletter. This is the second newsletter for Coin Collections. The newsletter has been a success. After the last newsletter things are looking up. I look forward to this newsletter even gaining more momentum.
No More Pennies???
As a faithful watcher of the 5:00 p.m. news one night I heard a great intriguing story that surprised me about what things could happen. The story was interesting and made me think about what things are to come ahead for the United States Coin Collectors.
The story said that the United States Congress or Senate some senator or congressmen is going to put forth a bill that would eliminate the usage of pennies in everyday use. No more pennies. Retailers would have to round up or down for the purchase being bought. This made get a sort of a thrill to think that some of the pennies that this would sky rocket the value of the pennies in later years.
The reason being that the mint was going to stop making the pennies is because of the amount that they put in making the pennies is high and the government doesn't make much off of that in return. I didn't quite understand that.
My recommendation to all collectors is now to start collecting pennies because if this bill passes then the value of today's pennies will shoot up along. So today's everyday pennies could be a thing of the past. Well time will only tell.
