[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 3548461, member: 59737"]Prove it. With data. I’ll wait. While you’re doing that, here’s some data that is counter to your claim: 55% of Americans find the cent useful (nothing to do with rounding) [url]https://news.gallup.com/poll/23779/penny-worth-saving-say-americans.aspx[/url] It costs basically as much to produce the nickel as the cent, so many argue focus should be on cost cutting or different metal use, as there won’t really be any savings when the nickel production must be increased to cover lack of a cent (also, nothing to do with rounding).
