yeah, I'm bored. So let's discuss this.
Basically, it costs more to mint a penny than the coin is actually worth. Therefore, the penny should be abolished. I also think that the paper dollar should be replaced by a coin, but that's a different issue.
I hope someone disagrees with me so that I can yell at them and call them idiots.
ps. Of course, wiki has an article: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efforts_to_eliminate_the_penny_in_the_United_States[/url]
