EXPENSIVE PENNY
SYDNEY, Australia, </P) — A
penny costs more than a penny
to make in Australia.
The Royal Mint has been mak
ing pennies and halfpennies at a
loss for two years, mint officials
disclosed. The main reason is the
rising cost of copper. One mint
official said: “The copper in a
penny is worth a fraction more
... • • . • *.
than the currency value of the
coin.” j
But don’t think the mint is
about to go out of business. It
can still make one pound note
(worth 240 pennies) for less than
a penny.
