"When people start leaving a monetary unit at the cash register for the next customer, the unit is too small to be useful." - Greg Mankiw, Harvard University Economist
Reasons to get rid of the penny:
1. They're useless. You can literally buy nothing with a penny. Parking meters, vending machines and automatic toll booths don't accept them either.
2. They waste time, exchanging miniscule amounts of cash just for the extra 1/100th of a dollar.
3. It takes 2.41 cents to make a penny!
4. Lincoln should be honored on more important currency, not a useless, inefficient, worthless penny.
