<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 647235, member: 16948&quot;]I agree - and there&#039;s no such thing as a bad Penny Guy or bad Penny Lady either!&nbsp; I too pick up pennies off the ground whenever I see one (whether they are heads up or not!).&nbsp; Hey, besides, pennies are my business!&nbsp; But&nbsp; aside from it being my business, here&#039;s my personal Honest Abe two cents about keeping/not keeping the penny, for what it&#039;s worth..... </p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly and without meaning anything disparaging, I don&#039;t really care about the sales tax issue, and I don&#039;t really care whether the cent is a moneymaker, and I don&#039;t really care about rounding up prices to make up for not keeping the penny, and I even don&#039;t really care whether making the cent is more costly than it&#039;s worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I do care about is keeping/creating future coin collectors, and the penny/cent is a huge staple (maybe even backbone) of coin collecting.&nbsp; It is and always has been a very popular series, especially among young people.&nbsp; This year&#039;s new designs have helped inspire more young collectors to collect pennies, just like the state quarters did a few years back.&nbsp; And we (our country) has pretty much always had a penny/cent as part of its coinage.&nbsp; The penny is historical.&nbsp; And I believe/feel it should and will remain part of the U.S. coins.&nbsp; Simply put and bottom line, pennies are just too dang popular to cease minting.&nbsp; Go Pennies![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
