We really need to spend money on this right now. Brilliant.

Now consider this...

As of May 2008, it costs ¢1.26 US to make a penny, making the face value of a penny less than its actual value. The cost to make a penny first exceeded the face value of pennies in 2006, briefly rising to almost ¢2 US in 2007 before falling again.

Nickels cost around ¢7.7 US to make. Other currency, such as dimes and quarters, costs much less to make. The face value of a quarter may be ¢25 US, but it only costs ¢10 US to make one.

Interesting...
