These started popping up awhile ago, and what really bothers me about it is that they haven't gone to steel or aluminum coins for the penny yet.  It doesn't make sense to circulate coins that cost more to make than they are worth.


In the UK, all pennies made before 1991 are worth more as scrap metal than they are face value.
