remove the penny from circulation, as the government could save money and reduce the amount of change people must keep.

This country wastes so many funds and resources to mint the copper penny. Many consumers don't like the penny because it just clutters up their pockets, and they have no real use for them. We could save money by eliminating the penny from circulation, and rounding to the nearest 5 cents, following an example in the country of Brazil. Besides, most people swipe plastic instead of paying with cash these days, and as such the penny does not have a real purpose in Society.
