Abject apologies for utilizing whole cloth Iowahawk’s own title for the title of this post. But it perfectly conveys the substance of his brilliant … er, “announcement” of a couple of weeks ago. (“Brilliant” in part because, like the mechanics of the recent discovery of the Higgs Boson, I don’t fully understand it.) WASHINGTON DC…

Well, actually a dime wasn’t ever really worth a dime, it’s worth less than ten cents. However, the cost to produce a penny and a nickel has more than doubled its own face value. The cost of making pennies and nickels are about twice the face value of the coins–2.4 cents for a penny and…
