End the use of the penny and any other coins that cost more to make than what their value is.

Created by D.H. on December 26, 2015

The penny costs more to make than its value. It's purchasing power has ceased long ago and it's now a nuisance to deal with. It's now just a copper coated piece of zinc that costs more than $55,000,000 a year more than its worth. Do away with the nickel as well, it costs more than 10 cents to make one 5 cent nickel.
