Few people now a days still bend down to pick up a penny off the sidewalk. Whether its the superstions of “luck” or just another penny to add into their collection.

If we abolish, the so called “worthless, bothersome, and wasteful penny,” then my poor mothers fifteen year’s collection of pennies will have gone to waste. Besides the saving of the penny. Eliminating pennies would also be inflationary, because all those $39.99 prices would rise to $40.
