Here's an interesting article I recently came across at Yahoo. In it, the author discusses the possibility of pennies being turned into the value of nickels. The reason is due to the shortage or rise in the price of copper; the material used to create pennies.
Coin shortage could turn pennies to nickels:

Not sure if it'll ever happen, but we can hope, can't we!
