End the use of the penny. It costs more to produce it than it's worth. Canada did it. It's about time we did the same.

The time has come to end the production of the penny as currency. It cost more to manufacture it than it's actual monetary value. In a time where we are seeking to save money from our national budget, it makes perfect sense to end the wasteful spending on a outdate form of useless currency. Canada has done it, now it is our turn.
