The Penny MUST DIE!

They better not. I have about five dollars of pennies in a water bottle... I'm saving it till it gets full. It'll probably hold 10 bucks.

 

I dont think its a good thing if they get rid of pennies.

Then kids cant sing that song about "Lucy with The Pussy and the penny a day" thing...

 

Pennies are shit.


Have you ever noticed that the only thing they're good for is using them to NOT get more pennies back in your change?

If something costs $1.27, usually you check to see if you have 2 pennies to give the cashier just to avoid getting 2 more worthless, nasty pennies!


Hell, you could save every single penny you come across for a whole year. And AT MOST you'd have like $15. I know because I've done it...but not anymore. Now whenever I get them in change I immediately drop them on the ground. At the end of a lifetetime I'd have wasted MAYBE $30 or so...and it would have been totally worth it to not have to lug those things around! DOWN WITH PENNIES!

 

^ that's funny

 

But pennies make such great guitar picks!

 

but when you find a penny you get good luck, i love getting lucky!
we need those peenies
haha

 

Yes I'm well aware of that but unless I can find a store to accept jars of pennies I'd have to roll em up and exchange at the bank, and I just don't have that much time on my hands.....well maybe I do but I'm not THAT bored.

 

And that is exactly why I posted this thread...lol.

 

......uh....that's not very good for the strings lol, they wear out faster like that.

And just to clarify to all those with bundles of pennies, the penny would no longer BE MANUFACTURED!!!! That doesn't mean that they'd be worthless, I mean literally worthless.

For instance, here in Canada we had the $2 Bill, and people used it a lot I remember it well and then the toonie came out in 96 and by 98 I think it stopped being manufactured, but I saw people using $2 bills up until 2000 or so.

Same with our $1 dollar, which Canada stopped using in the 80s! ( Learn something Americans )

I actually still see $1 bills being used, you can still use em at any store.

Knowing numerous people who worked at the cashier, $1 and $2 Canadian bills got/get stored in other words, put under the table and then after a month or so they get put together and somebody from the store exchanges them at the bank, the bank recycles that money.

And with all the pennies in the world I'm sure it will take 30+ years to completely get em out of the system.

 

if they got rid of the pennies I couldnt say phrases such as.. well thats my 2 cents.. fuck-n-A...

 

Same with Bits. A bit was 12.5 cents, or half a quarter. There were 8 bits in a dollar. However, there was never a Bit coin. So Americans called the dime a short bit and 15 cents as a long bit. You hardly hear anyone mention Bits anymore.

I just think it sucks to have to put 6 bits into an air pump to fill my tire and that the daily paper is 4 bits when it's clearly worth only a long bit at best.

hey throwing or otherwise putting coins on the floor is illegal at least in my country (that technically still owns yours in different means) so don't do it. waste of currency, waste and litter is wrong.

have fun if you don't do it in future. find a jar and save.

 

i love penny's they make good sling shot amo

 

ok wait why should we get rid of $1 bill?

 

Pennies give my pockets purpose beyond a place to hide my hands. I love paying exact change as well.

 

I certainly don't want to execute Penny, huh-huh...

 

Because it costs almost as much to make as its worth.

And no country cept like someone said Scotland uses a $1 Bill, and Scotland's part of the U.K. so technically they should use pounds more often.

Plus whenever I go down to the U.S. and it's a lot, I hate your fucking dollar bills, they're so fucking annoying, and you know which answer I get most when I ask random people why they want to keep the $1 bill?? Because they say it looks like they have more money.

Oooooookay, I'm gonna laugh when Canada gets the $5 coin and the U.S. is still using paper dollars, oh, PLUS, it's so fucking hard to use the drink machines!!!!! You either have to have 6 quarters on you or have a perfectly smooth BILL!!! FUCK FUCK FUCK!

 

oh I didn't know that.

dude I like $1 bills you must have some serious bad luck with drink machines.

but if we didn't have $1 bills, how would getting change back and paying for things be affected?

 

Coins are easier to deal with and are cheaper to make.

I personally love the loonies and toonies, and I even like the 50 cent piece, which in Canada isn't used but in the EU, oh, I LOVE IT!

 

penny will be around for awhile i think i hate it but o well
