[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 8264563, member: 78298"]There's really no point to pennies anymore as there are many threads about this. Cash is being used less and less, and people just leave the pennies in the change cup at the self serve they don't want them. I agree with Potty Dollar post #7, but people have tried to convince me there would soon be a penny "shortage". Billions have been produced every year for decades, besides what is in circulation, sitting around in bags and rolls and vaults, every house has a jar of pennies (in the US) adding up to billions more being unused. I bet if they stopped producing them, they would still circulate for 30 years. You can round everything up or down to the nearest nickel (if not paying the exact amount in cash) credit cards and checks could still pay the exact amount, because you are just moving "digits" from one side of the page to the other.[/QUOTE]
