pennies?

This is a perfect idea. I cannot stand going into a store and the total comes to 10.01. Then I end having to break a dollar and get back all that change just because I don't have a penny on me. It's a pain but I do have to say that when I shop I save all of my change instead of turning around and using it. I do this all year and by the end of the year I usually have around a thousand dollars saved in change to cash in to use towards christmas.

I think this is the best idea I´ve heard in ages. I mean WHAT IS THE POINT of selling something for 9.99 instead of 10!!!? None at all. Just a way of the sellers trying to make something appear cheaper. No one likes fiddly coins. Paper money is so much easier. Well I suppose you need coins for vending machines etc but then again there isn´t much cheaper than a dollar or a euro is there? Ok so things would get rounded up but I´d rather pay 5 dollars for something than pay 4.99 & have to wait around for a cent change!

Havent you seen those virgin mobile commercials? Bring the power back to penny......Well yeah see everyone throws away or disregards pennies.

At one time these pennies were also used in pakistan but now they are expired.

It is funny. In Australia, we still have things "on special" for $9.99. If we buy one thing, it rounds up to $10.00, but if we buy a few things, it rounds down. Ie. if it ends in 1c or 2c, it rounds down to the nearest 5. If it ends in 3c or 4c, it rounds up to the nearest 5c. If it ends in 6c or 7c, it rounds down to the nearest 5c, but if it ends in 8c or 9c it rounds to nearest 10c

Yes down with sales tax, save billions, but don't take away my pennies.

in india one ,two three, 5 and 10 ,25 and even 50 (some places) paises totalyy abolished . so all around to rs.1 indian ruppes. i do not know abt usa

in my opinion, yes we should. The U.s. needs to keep the pennies.

i think we should keep pennies...you can do a lot with them and not just throwing them in fountians. 100 pennies make $1 and so fourth...i think we should keep them around.

the pennies is important for future collection in USA

well my dear this is a great idea and i think you right this is good keep it up good i dea i will share every where....

I think that´s a great idea considering that in every store there is to rounded price and we have to carry our pennies everywhere we go all day long. They should do the same thing in the US.

Yes though not a citizen os US I think they should have

Although the penny has little purchasing power, I'd hate to get rid of it. The penny was the first coin the mint ever approved for minting. Also, a penny currently costs the mint about 1.3 cents to mint and they make about a billion a year for a loss of 300 million dollars annually. Although that may seem like a lot of money, it really isn't since the national debt is trillions of dollars and the fact that coins such as the State Quarters cost about 6 cents to make and many, many people try to save all 50 which gives the mint a 19 cent profit 50 times ($9.50 per person). This money, called seniorage, makes the mint a ton of money because if even 1/10 of the 300 million Americans saved a set the mint would make 285 million dollars in seniorage. To further their profits, the mint is now (as of 2007) issuing Golden Dollars with former U.S. Presidents on the coin. With about 45 different presidents at a profit of $.93 per coin, a complete set would create at least $41.85 in profit. Again, if 30 million people were to collect these coins, the profit would be 1.256 billion dollars. Lastly, the mint makes a bunch of other products they sell such as mint and proof sets where they make a rather substantial profit. In short, the penny (or more precisely cent, the U.S. mint has never made a coin called a "penny") is almost worthless but it's a part of American history and should still be minted perhaps in a different, cheaper metal.

these days Dollars

no

I don't think we really need pennies anymore! But I don't think it would actually save us money if they built the tax in! They would just add the tax like they do in ASutralia and put it on the price tag, just because there is no tax at the end with your bill does not mean you are not paying taxes =)

Sounds like it could work to me.

what is this call me

yup we shud'nt hav them
