NO WAY! How do you think Abe feels right now? Besided thats just giving people more money or less depending if we only round up or can round down! Think about it pennys add up! We'd be giving away MILLIONS of dollars every year to businesses! Plus dont we already have enough pennys circulating to do the job? so who needs new ones? How about just makeing them every 3-5 years? that way it cuts back on the costs or make them out of something cheaper and color them.
Poor ABE! |

No we shouldn't. What if something is $7.53...you pay $7.55...what are you going to get back if there are no pennies?!? The pennies balance things out and pennies add up after awhile. Oh, and I pick up every penny I find unless it's covered in mud or something. |

Well whats the other option? Round everything up? I see no reason to get rid of the penny. Show me another option. |

Yea, why do we have the penny? Other countries have gotten rid of their low valued coins -- so why not the US?
Most transactions take place electronically anyway, so physical money might be on the way out. |

Good points Dave......Yes, they should ditch the penny as long as they keep Lincoln on some form of currency, the $5 bill. |

I love the penny. Even if they stop making it, they won't go away. There are to many of them. |

the government has been trying for years to get rid of the penny. truth be told they can not find a way to do it, it is essential to commerce. everything would instantly become more expensive ( i doubt a company would round down a price) |

Yes we should remove the penny. They are lame. But the trick is "how to get rid of them." Here's what we should do. We all buy cargo pants. We fill all the pockets of these cargo pants with pennies. A car alarm, with no car attached, obliously, is also required for this to go off well. We walk around the streets of New York and wait for the first homeless person to ask for change. BAM. We hit the buzzer. WEEO WEEO WEEO We have a winner. WE just start throwing the pennies out of our many pockets. Yes, the hurt the poor fellow, but he doesn't care, he's gettin' hit by coins. So now the homeless fellow has all the pennies, and he trades them all in at the bank and makes a hefty some (for this poor chap). So not only have we solved the penny crisis, but we also solved the poverty problem. |

If you're talking about poker night then absolutely!!
But otherwise I don't think so. I mean then thousands and thousands of tons of copper would be wasted with no value except for it's worth in copper. |

Whenever I had pennies or found them laying around I would put the annoying little things in a jar. I make a hundred dollars or more sometimes when I cash them in. It takes a long time but what the heck its money. |

We should somehow try to end money as we know it alltogether. Did you know that THE FEDERAL RESERVE is a PRIVATE COMPANY? Which is owned by just a handfull of very rich banks. Look into it. Interesting stuff.
But for now, about the penny, yeah, kill it. |

That would be very difficult to have a price of anything come exactly to a price that 5 goes into. Taxes would somehow have to be banned because thats what makes pennies useful. So no i would keep the penny. |

The penny should stay, because it all adds up!

Why should we get rid of the penny?
this is rediculous, eliminating the penny would cause Americans to lose money, and to spend unnnecessary money. |
