Speaking of waste of govt funds. Redesigning a coin that costs more to make then it is worth.

sacha baron cohen (borat) had an awesome episode of "da ali g show". he was talking to some government guy about getting rid of coins all together. his argument was that we should have bills for every possible total. the guy couldn't believe it. you would have probably had to see it to think it was funny.:goof

it is crazy to think that the milk jugs full of pennies are worth more melted down than taken to the bank, LOL!

It is time to do away with the penny. It costs more than a penny to make a penny. Our tax money at work.

Or just keep the trillions of pennies already out there in use and not spend money(we dont' have) on useless crap that isn't needed? God does our government have no common sense.

IMO we should get ride of the penny and just do 5, 10, 25 for everything.

Old men do it too. Last year when I worked at speedway a guy would come in everyday and buy a pack of Tourney cigarettes and pay with all pennies nothing like counting 300 pennies to hold up a line it pissed me off.
