Have You Stocked Up On Coins Yet? You Will After Reading This!
Michael Zielinski | Coinupdates
A bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives which seeks to quickly and dramatically alter the composition for all current circulating United States coins. Specifically, the bill would require the one-cent, five-cent, dime, and quarter dollar coins to be produced primarily of steel, with the change implemented 90 days after the enactment of the Act.
The bill H.R. 516 or the “Cents and Sensibility Act” was introduced on January 22, 2015 and represents the third attempt from Rep. Steve Stivers of Ohio to alter the compositions of circulating coins. In 2011, he introduced two separate bills which separately sought to immediately alter the composition of cents and nickels to steel. In 2013, a bill was introduced seeking to alter the compositions of cents, nickels, dimes, and quarters to primarily steel. The current bill contains much the same provisions as the one introduced in 2013.
The bill calls for the four denominations to be produced primarily of steel and meet such other specifications as the Secretary of the Treasury may determine appropriate. The coins are to be treated in such a manner that they are similar in appearance to the coins produced prior to the date of enactment. Lastly, there is a requirement to use only steel produced in the United States unless the Secretary finds this requirement to be inconsistent with the public interest or an adequate supply of United States steel is not available.
