Unit pricing: Penny: $4/kg Nickel: $10/kg Dimes, quarters half-dollars: $20/lb Dollar coins: $56/lb --- On Sat, 9/1/12, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [USMA:51868] Minus the Penny, Please To: "U.S. Metric Association" <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, September 1, 2012, 9:05 PM http://m.good.is/post/chipotle-ends-the-penny-before-u-s-mint-does/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pulsenews Bruce E.
