From the article:

*Update:
While we are confident that it will not be long until the Treasury takes the penny out of circulation and at least debases the nickel, the author of this story has apparently issued a retraction to the story.

I have a few of the
BTC
10 1oz rounds & I would love to add a couple
BTC
5 1/2oz rounds if they were available
I'm working on them.
Meanwhile the 2012 10 BTC rounds are coming to a close - I'm almost out of them, and am not sure if I will do another run of 10 BTC.
Of the plain silver one, I am down to around 20 left. Of the gold plated one, 60-ish.
Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

please update OP
My name is Henry Wallen and I am a staff writer at skewnews.com, a
satire website.
Recently I wrote an political article entitled, "Penny and Nickel Coins to be Phased Out in 2013" which announced that pennies and nickels would be discontinued in January 2013. Most of our regular readers understood that it was fiction, but some people did not. The story went viral and has been viewed by several hundred thousand people.
The piece is not mean spirited, harmful or slanderous in any way, and skewnews.com carries a disclaimer stating that the website is not responsible for the accuracy of any work. However the editors and I agreed to come clean on this one.
For those people who were upset by the penny and nickel going away in January, you can be assured that this is not happening; the story is fiction and was written for entertainment value only.
If you have questions or comments, I encourage you to post them here, instead of on the original story page, as this format allows for a more interactive dialog.
Respectfully,
Henry Wallen
