<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2208265, member: 26302&quot;]Or, how about saving BILLIONS of dollars in efficiency, and hundreds of millions at the mint, and simply round up transactions? You can still stop and pick up a nickel. We used to understand in this country. In 1857 the half cent was discontinued, not due to minting costs but because it was no longer practical in commerce.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As an aside, the cent WOULD have been gone decades ago except for government. The ONLY need for cents is due to sales tax. Short of that, retailers would simply price everything at the nearest nickel and NEVER carry a cent in their registers. Again, the government creates the problem, and their solutions will be even worst than the problem they themselves created.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
