Mint To Change Metals In US Coins?

Specifically the penny and the nickle, which currently cost more than their face value to mint.

The plan approved by Congress calls for both to be made mostly of steel, which will drastically reduce their cost. No idea what this will do to their ability to feed through machines such as snack and soda machines (nickles, obviously, not pennies).
