I found this video to be interesting.

And quite frankly, who uses pennies anyway?

So then everyone should change their pricing system so that nothing can ever come out to any denomination other than 5, 10, etc?

I think they should be abolished. I mean we spend millions of dollars every year making a thing that nobody even cares about. The only reason why people wouldn't want to abolish the penny is because they are too nostalgic and can't see how useless of an object it is. They would also say "hurr durr it wuld cauz enflashun." The effects of inflation would be short lived and minimal. I'm not even sure you could feel the effects of it.

When something costs £29.99 and I pay £30.00 I want my penny back from it.

Abolished? No. Just stop minting new ones. It costs more to make a penny than it is actually worth. Eventually they'll be put out of circulation and we wont need them.

Join the Halo Haven group!

you cant, because without them you wouldnt get change, and if you dont get change, they cashier doesnt open up the register, and therefore there its possible for the cashier to make off with some of the money, or something along those lines.

I forget exactly how it works, despite someone or two people on this forum explaining it to me.

but yeah, its actually very important.

It would just be rounded up or down by 5 cent increments.



OT: Yes.

I occasionally pay with pennies. If I'm in a really long line, and I have time to make exact change anyways.

Sell products in increments of 5 cents (i.e. Have $3.95 products or $4.00 instead of selling things for $3.99), then stop producing the penny.

Yeah, but then sales tax screws that up. Alternatively, include sales tax in the price.

Sales tax here is 8%. If a product normally sells for $4.00, sales tax will put it at $4.32. So, just make the sale price $4.35 [or $4.30] and call it a day.

Only reason I don't like te idea is because it is an excuse for companies to raise prices.

The maximum difference of 4 cents isn't going to hurt you.
