The US treasury should stop minting pennies and round prices off to the nearest nickel. Look at Canada.

During the 16 years of this millennium, there are literally has never been any projects, other then something possibly on eBay or some website, that is ever priced at one cent. It is an enormous environmental destruction to mince the 7 billion pennies that are printed every year. Not even a child would pick one up off the street and many countries that have fairly similar monetary systems as far as the value of their current sees, have unanimously, here's ago, disbanded with their penny or the equivalent of it, and rounded off to the nearest five cents or whatever they call cents. It serves absolutely no purpose other than to clutter people's pockets, pocketbooks, desks, drawers, cash registers, etc. and the simplicity if things were rounded off would make things so much simpler.
