we got rid of the penny? Would we buy "nickel" candy? Would we throw "dimes" into wishing wells? Would our change always have to be in increments of 5?

if we did not have a penny or one cent piece, yes our chance would always be in 5 cent increments or we would need to cut coins in half like they did with the spanish "pieces-of-eight" I thought we threw quarters into wishes wells, or have I been overpayng for wishes all these years? (not to answer a question with a question) I refuse to buy nickle candy.....

we would actually save money-- it cost almost a nickel now to produce the penny. Abolish the penny and use the savings for stem cell research.

Probably all of the above. Just because the US mint stops making the penny doesn't mean they will go out of circulation overnight. It will take some time.

All the above. Your question is a perfect example of what the inhabitants of Australia do..

new saying would crop up "A nickel for a tickle" and "A dime for your time".
