Waste of Tax Payers Dollars

#1

Post here about the thing our tax dollars are wasted on.

The Penny
It cost more than a penny, to mint a penny. In fact, it cost 1.5 cents to make a penny. How about we round up, or down to the nearest nickle. I'm fine with the lost penny in a round up, or down scenario going to the government. Or, i'm fine rounding the cost up to tyhe nearest nickle. The penny needs to go away. They say they are going to stop minting pennies in 2020, but I think they need to be removed from circulation all together.


Quote:Last year, each penny cost 1.5 cents to make -- about 50 percent more than its face value -- and all the pennies the U.S. Mint issued last year cost it $46 million. It’s the 11th year the cost to make a penny has been higher than its face value.
