There is talk of the penny going away since it costs The Treasury
Department two cents to make each one. Those pennies could become
collectors items down the road and some enterprising thief could burn
the house to get at them. O_o

What would the plan be? Burn the house down, let the pennies cool and
then go back to the scene of the arson to collect them from the
charred remains of the structure?

That enterprising thief had better hope that most of the pennies are
pre-1983. Any decent house fire will probably melt the post-82 mostly
zinc pennies.
