Good. The prices of the existing one will rise then. I've got a few of them or 1,000 from the 1940's to 1973. I bought the cent books and the coin came with them. About a roll of the 1940-1950+ a roll of each one including a roll of the 1947 two kinds.

This is good

I don't agree of this being good. Can the U.S. Cent be far behind?

I'm glad I saved all those old ones from 1920-1964.

I think it will be interesting to see how long the US keeps the penny. Will they follow them close or will they take there time with it.

I don't know about your guys... but if I was walking in the mall and saw a pile of pennies on the floor... I WOULD pick them up.

I do pick up CENTS not pennies.

They are Cents. Not Pennies. is what coops is trying to say.

I guess I best keep all those Canadian "one centers" I find in bank rolls now.

I would guess we, "US" will watch how this all plays out then implement the same thing...
