Steve Kroft sits down with Obama while Katie Couric interviews Hillary. There are plenty of fascinating facts and humor in a very serious race for both candidates to make U.S. history with either the first African American or first female president of the United States. In our second story, Morley Safer explores why the US Mint continues to make both pennies and nickels, coins that cost more to make than they're worth! How many other pitfalls behind a money making business that's losing money?
