It’s so ridiculous how the country needs a completely unsensible leader in order to do sensible things
Broken clock etc etc. I only see pennies as stealing. If you charge me $9.99 instead of $10, you’re doing some kind of fuck-fuck psychology game to make me think more is less. Pennies are worthless as a practical currency and only result in predatory business practices.
Even in countries without 1c or equivalent, they do the 9.99 or whatever. You won’t get away from it. Sometimes they do 9.98 or 9.97 as neat little tricks.

lol in mexico’s supermarkets you were asked to donate whatever cents were left and that was used as a tax evasion scheme.

Many such cases worldwide. “Please round up your purchase to donate!” As if we don’t know what they’re doing???
No thanks I’ll round down though
He is right about this one
When they retired the half cent coin in 1857, it had an inflation-adjusted value of about 18 cents, for comparison.
So what I’m hearing is nickels need to go too
Trump is jealous Canada did this a decade ago that’s why he wants to annex them
It’s been a big improvement too
At this point I’d even argue for doing away with nickels with how expensive everything is

What if they just stopped minting money all together?
They should start minting beanis

Dudes on a roll. Another proposal can get behind. Even the unhoused don’t want those things
I did not know US still minted pennies. That’s one good thing that should have been done.
At least those people who have been hoarding shipping containers of pennies so that they can sell the metal when they’re no longer currency are going to be happy.
Or, maybe a limited annual minting for the coin collector sickos.

stop minting them and make all existing pennies worth two cents if you trade them into the treasury.
Step 1 of a 32 step process of tranistioning the US monetary system to crypto. 
leftists in 2022: shut the fuck up bro there isnt some conspiracy to force you into using crypto because the Starbucks only accepts card payments
leftists in 2025: holy shit there actually is a conspiracy to force us into using crypto but now the antivaxxers who first complained about it love dont care anymore
