Pennies are pointless. I say get rid of them. Hell, get rid of all coins and just have everything be rounded to dollars.

Sense, not cents. Or in this case at that. :rolleyes:

That's a pun btw.

Pennies are virtually useless nowadays. If you did get rid of them it would be weird though.

The only reason I'd be against it, is because that would make the price of everything get rounded up to the nearest nickel. And like the article said, nikcels cost more than they are worth to mint to, what next, get rid of the nickel?

I know it's sense not cents, I was using the exact title of the article.

It's a pun, i think he just missed it.

I save all of my pennies and take them to Coinstar once or twice a year, and I usually come up with a few hundred dollars, which is very nice, especially around Christmas-time! :)

dude you should roll them up yourself. coinstar takes a large percent of your money! it's a huge rip off!

I heard that, it's like 9 cents on the dollar.

yep NINE percent.

No name calling please.

**Double.**

Getting rid of pennies is insane. You get rid of pennies, and inflation is going to skyrocket.

Why get rid of pennies ? That's just pathetic.
