Talk:1974 aluminum cent

message: The article mentions that the aluminum cent was rejected because "the price of copper went down to the point where making the penny would be profitable." Since when is the Mint in it for profit? They're a government agency, and by definition not a for-profit company. Would it perhaps be better to write "making the penny would be more feasible" or "more worthwhile" or "more affordable"? LordAmeth 01:08, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Profit? 

message: I've qualified the stament about tarnishing, since aluminium isn't immune to oxidation damage; just highly resistant. Strong salt solutions, particularly somewhat acid ones (drying sweat is a good example), will tarnish aluminium fairly quickly, and even the smallest traces of mercury or soluble mercury salts will produce a rapid exothermic efflorescence of powdery aluminium oxide.

message: As requested here  some time ago, I've reviewed & promoted the article from Start class on the quality scale to B class.  A collaborative effort could raise this to A. I see this as a potential gem of an article, limited by lack of available reference material/sources. --Whoosit (talk) 04:44, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
