Pennies cost more to produce than they are actually worth. Get rid of them and instead use rounding? Or keep them and continue to count the simple, copper coins?

I say lose em. I hardly ever use them anyway, and they just take up space.

I used to charge kids around my blocks 26 cents for a piece of 'pure, real copper'.

I went home to 'get the copper' and just took the penny they gave me and pounded it with a hammer. I'm not sure if they ever caught on.

Cleaning?

Silly?

Oh God, I can just see him cleaning his house with a flowered apron and scarf on.

Wouldn't work -- The nickel would just become the next penny. As the lowest monetary unit changed, the rest would shift to fill that void -- Banks around the world would be thrown off -- especially if we were the only country doing the rounding (Meaning the US)

Pennies aren't even pure copper anymore. I'm not sure if copper makes up 5% of a penny anymore. I think we should just make them out of aluminum or something, that stuff's all over.

Copper content is around 4-6% -- the rest is Zinc -- of any penny minted after 1964

I know. You tend to pick up this stuff when you live in a huge copper-providing state. :P

But, pennies are convincingly copper-like - which is all that's important in a peer's eyes.

That's an unfair stereotype.
