Remove the United States's one-cent coin, more popularly known as "the penny" from circulation.

Created by A.W. on January 04, 2013

The "penny" is practically useless in everyday life. There metal value exceeds there face value. It costs 2.4 cents to make a "penny." The US government makes $7.4 billion "pennies" a year and if you times that by 2.4 cents, it costs the US government over $17,760,000,000 a year to produce the "penny"!! If you would like to help reduce the deficit (every little bit counts) then sign this petition so Obama see's how much the American public hates the penny and maybe he will do something about it.
