Even the token coins that we use have been debased over time:

The penny is now only 2.5% copper.

Pre-1982 pennies are worth 2.41 cents if you melt them down for the copper.

But now even the zinc in post-1982 pennies are starting to rise. A post-1982 penny is worth a little more than half a cent. 100 of those pennies are worth 58 cents in melt value...soon the zinc will cost more than the penny and we will have plastic pennies!

I didn't realize you were so sensitive but I will compliment you on your knowledge of applying the emoticons to threads. The toothy-grin emoticon is the best I can do.
