Get rid of the penny?

[Will Wood]

What do you think?
I hate these things. So useless.

Serisouly though.
I would gladly accept a loss of 4 cents at any given purchase just not to deal with these things. Actually - I do. I say "Keep the pennies"

And I've also seen several places that just take a one cent loss and give someone a nickel instead of four pennys.

They are such a hassle. I hate them.

Who thinks the mint should do away with pennys?

[Big'n slo]

Not I,
Once every couple of months I cash in my change jar for about $100 bucks.
Its like having a money tree

Meh, then we'd start using nickles more often and you'd hate them too.

According to my friend, Austrailia doesn't use anything but quarters(or the 25cent equivalent) they round up to the nearest .25cents. I could handle that... Unlike our brilliant Canadian Gov't officials, the added 2 coins to our damn pockets!

But they arn't as useless.

They will be... if you stop using the penny then the nickle will lose its value and become the pennies of the future

How will the governement get all of our DNA if they take the penny out of circulation?

So lets go with the aussies and only use quaters.

ditto.

If they're going to get rid of anything get rid of the nickle. It's the only denomination of money that actually costs more to make then it's worth. IE it costs 5.5 cents to make a nickle.

Uh...you sure about that? I can't possibly believe that with the minting system as it is, it costs that much to make a stamped piece of metal.

Besides, it doesn't matter how much it takes to make one. That doesn't determine its real value, anyway.

I hate pennies too. I only use silver change. Pennies are just askin to be taken out. They don't even look like the other coins. All my pennies I take to the coin Star and let them rip me off rather than try to wrap them or use them at stores.

[wanna-b-ballin']

actually, i kinda like pennys. after i save up enough of them, i go and buy candy and o-rings and stuff. most of the time i will get half way through counting the exact change, and they say "thats good enough" and so i get a discount sorta thing.

and you can throw them at nerds.

I love pennies, by the way.
