Take pennies out & either round up or round down everything that has pennies.

Created by G.V. on January 30, 2014

Change is a big issue. Especially when you have lots of pennies that no one wants or has the time to count. Wouldn't it be great to have only Nickels, Dimes, & quarters (& of course the other coins.) We all know the big hassle of carrying & getting pennies, much less counting them. In fact, If you had $500 in pennies, you could theoretically melt it down and sell it for $1000 worth of metal, not to even mention that according to an article on NBCNews last year it costs 2.41 cents to make a penny which is up from 1.23 cents in 2006 (The article also mentioned about nickels costing 11 cents to make but thats for another story, plus nickels don't really bother most people.) So please take pennies out & make changes a little easier for us americans.
