[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2280266, member: 71510"]I'm the guy that picks them up all the time. Last year I collected over $3.00 in cents and a few were wheaties. There are also people that throw away aluminum cans and plastic bottles - and all kinds of other perfectly good stuff. One man's trash is another's treasure. Just visit any auction house if you don't believe me. :) For the record, my uncle and I visited a coin show a few weeks ago and went to grab a burger afterwards. We found $14 in cash on the ground outside the car door and it paid for lunch. We'd have picked it up if it were just cents (pennies!). In summary, John Oliver is a real idiotic jackass and his numbers (for those that missed it) were showing statistics with the date of 1995 on them. I'd support getting rid of the cent - if we had a plan. This would also have to include a tax plan to cover the rounding, a return plan, and a plan on what they will do to round - since we have a fractional dollar based on 100. I don't see it happening any time soon - especially if the government is left in charge.[/QUOTE]
