They are going to stop making pennies because it cost six cents to make a penny. So all of the pennies out there will be of no value. The next coin after the penny they want to get rid of is the nickel because it costs more then a dime to make. Do you believe this?

I've seen the ads too. Better rush to start rolling pennies now! But, I think to myself... how would you get 4 cents or 12 cents back in change? All the prices would have to be adjusted for this, as well and I don't see businesses willing to take time out to do all this.

I don't know about 6 cents to make each penny, but they really do need to do away w/ the annoying things. And I know that it does cost more than a penny to one.

I do not know about pennies. In India, the lower denomination coins all have been stopped from being manufactured, because of the reason you mentioned.
May be for the reason, the pennies may also be stopped from being made.

Thanks for correcting that one Mr. Hanky! They are not getting rid of pennies and even if they did the ones in circulation would still be of face value! Relax for God sakes.

You know what I actually do. Our dollar is soon going to be replaced by the Euro. It's just a matter of time.
