I really don't care one way or the other about this, but it does bring a question to my mind. Why don't they just make the penny out of cheaper material? Maybe recycled? Or why not smaller? A dime is smaller than a penny. Other countries have coins smaller than our dime.
By the way, I heard that the push was to get rid of the penny and the nickel, so that means rounding up the nearest tenth.
