Time to get rid of the penny?

[acri1]

Dude makes a pretty convincing argument IMO.


Seems like the value of pennies is so low at this point that they aren't even worth minting. Not to mention I (and I'd imagine most other people) have tons of pennies lying around the crib that I'll never use. Hell, vending machines don't even take them.

Any opinions on this?

We've started phasing them out here in Canada already.

They should be gone, until then I collect them until I get a nice amount and cash them out anywhere from 20-100 dollars

Canada started this year phasing out the penny. All purchases at stores are rounded up or down.

They should make the penny worth 5 cents for a while to help out us small people
Then in 2015 uncirculate the penny

Dumbest thing I ever heard. I save all my coins including pennies that i eventually take to coin star.
A penny can help just a little.

So you save up all your coins, then have a machine count them for a fee of about 9% of the total.
