>you see PENNY, the cost of copper rose above the value of a penny, so the "good ole copper cent" is now only 2.5% copper and 97.5% zinc
>however, the DIME is of higher value and has a copper nickel alloy surrounding a copper core, making it 91.67% copper and 8.33% nickel, thus the DIME actually has 33 times more valuable copper than the PENNY
>now the question remains, why does a rerun program with a bunch of nerds like me draw more DIMES than a tranny grappling program that airs in primetime?
