When was the last time you put some extra pennies in a charity bin at Dairy Queen? How many do you have saved in that old piggy bank or jar sitting in your closet. Pennies are a waste of copper, they are a waste of time, and they are worthless.
First of all, they are a waste of good copper and zinc. The two metals could be used for something useful like lawn ornaments or those neat sprinklers that spin around. One other good thing about them is you can put them in hydrochloric acid and they will become hollow which is pretty cool. But otherwise, I don't think they should be in circulation.
Next, they are a waste of time. I was buying a coke at 7-11 the other day with my friend. The clerk gave me 2 quarters 1 nickel and 4 pennies. I threw the pennies away and my friend said, "why do you throw good money away?" I replied, "Pennies are not money, they are a waste of time. Years ago, a penny had value. When you could go to a Dodgers game for 50 cents and candy bars costs 4 pennies. But lets face it. It's the 21st century and they are simply a waste of time.
Last, they are completely worthless! Instead of giving you 7 cents back. 2 pennies and nickel, they should give you a nickel back because all you were going to do was throw them in the street for some toddler to find. They need to round everything to the nearest nickel. why were at it, lets do it to the nearest dime. We are just going to surpass that in a few years anyway. Within a few decades, well drop the whole coin concept completely. Well do everything in either bills or we will have some kind of universal credit card. The only role pennies have is to appease our financial obsession for accuracy. That's what happens when you let accountants run the world. Look at it this way, if you had 300 dollars of pennies in a barrel, it would probley cost you 400 dollars just to hire a forklift to drag it to the bank. Then when you get to the bank, they won't want it.
