No not really because what would we do if we could no longer break down larger amounts of money? If my change were to come to 3.02, how would I get my 2 cents? I want all of my money.

definite. They value extra advantageous than a cent each for the government to make and distribute. We mint approximately 6 billion each 365 days, and each physique ends up in a internet loss of something extra advantageous than a million/2 a cent. in view that 1982, we've made them out of zinc (bearing directly to the main inexpensive steel there is) with a skinny copper coating. If a toddler swallows one, and the copper is breached in any way (say by utilising a scratch), the uncovered zinc will disolve interior the tummy, top-rated to conceivable zinc toxicity. whether it somewhat is no longer swallowed, a smash interior the copper exposes the zinc. The zinc and copper react like a susceptible battery and the zinc corrodes until eventually the coin falls aside. we've reached the factor that we are making them self-destructing, and no person cares. while that happens to a coin, it somewhat is time for it to bypass.

i think that the penny should be made from a different, cheaper, and maybe even biodegradable material, like wood, so it dosen't cost much to make and when they are thrown down in the streets and landfills its not such a big deal.... but yeah, keep the penny.

Yes, no longer. There is no use for them, and it now costs 1.1 cents to make a penny.

If we got rid of the penny do we have to get rid of penny loafers too?

If we get rid of the penny can the nickel be far behind? Why does that sound familiar? lol

no we should keep it if its the cost of the material maybe its time to look into a cheaper material but i dont think getting rid of its the right idea
