Should we get rid of pennies?

Hey Sam, I don't care.

I don't pay attention to whichever US president on US dollars.

How about you suggest to put Sam into one of these bills and it would make him shut up :P

JClarke,

Your statement is incorrect, According to the Swedish method in rounding up coins

Rounding with 5c intervals
This was used in Sweden from 1972 to 1985, New Zealand from 1990 to 2006, and is used in Australia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Finland, Hungary, Malaysia (though 1 sen coins are still legal tender), The Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland, and sometimes Italy and Turkey (even though the 1 kuruş coin can still be used).
Prices are rounded DOWN to the nearest multiple of 5 cents for sales ending in 1c, 2c, 6c, 7c;
Prices are rounded UP to the nearest multiple of 5 cents for sales ending in 3c, 4c, 8c, 9c;
Values ending in 0c or 5c remain unchanged.

Pennies stay. The tooth fairy says so.

If every penny was now worth $1 how much money do you think you'd have? I think I'd have at least couple thousands lol
