Yep, SINSULL...we need no more pennies...many folks refuse to carry them around anyway.I have been asserting for YEARS that we need to get rid of the $1 bill and make the $1 coin the only choice...make a $2 bill. It would save many millions.

The ONLY objection is tradition & nostalgia...and a small amount of superstition about $2 bills being unlucky.

Since almost no one uses half-dollar coins, NOTHING would have to change in cash registers...
