Oh and I agree with the Canadians why make a penny if it costs more to make?

Rep. Jim Kolbe, R-Ariz., Tuesday introduced legislation that would require all cash transactions to be rounded to the nearest five cents, effectively eliminating the penny. The bill would also fold the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the U.S. Mint into the Federal Reserve, mandate a study on alternative coin compositions and create a process to replace the dollar bill with a $1 coin.

(The above is a story from 2006 in USA Today)
The U.S. Congress and Mint has been just bursting with it's own set of bad ideas. I still have an original Susan B Anthony I was given as a kid when they came out. It reminds me every time I come across it, just how idiotic Congress can be at times with how they figure we need our money changed.
Grrrr... It's bad enough they downgraded the Penny from a fine metal like Copper to the pig metal junk it's made of today...but 'ol Abe needs his mug on a coin somewhere. What else would he fit on?edit on 31-3-2012 by Wrabbit2000 because: (no reason given)
