on everything we shuld keep da pennies cause every cents counts if there wernt ne pennies we would always have more than wat we need and never get change!!!
Nooooooooooooooo the penny should not be changed. I just found one today and it blew my mind away. Yeah the quarter was one thing but the penny should keep the little abe in the building. Why should the gov't spend money on new designs for change when the country is hurting.
The bigger question is why while the country is hurting should the government be making pennies that actually cost more than a penny to make. Talk about a money-losing proposition!!!
while pennies are a widespread element of our currency, eventually their monetary value will be so low due to inflation that they will be irrelevant. the question is when the proper time to get rid of them. leave it to the fed to make that decision. it makes no sense to keep them for sentimental value
hey they should stop making pennies
i think we should not have the penny cuz we dont even use it any ways so why bother use the penny. yeah it comes in handey but still we dont use them at all so we dont need it we always use the quarter nickles and dimes and dimes .
Personally, I've used pennies more times than I can count. Also, I tend to give them to my son, because it helps him develop more of a respect for money that way, not to mention helping him learn to count! I think that pennies are not completely useless, so doing without them may not be the best idea.
the penny should not ever be changed! I think that is a stupid idea and it should just stay the same!!!
