Last day to print the penny.  How does everyone feel about it ?

It is dumb. It will allow businesses to short change you. 

I don't care either way, I'm just amazed that none of these action have passed Congress.

 

The US Government is being ruled by Executive Order.

Outside of a casino I can probably use the fingers of one hand to count the number of  cash transactions I do in a year.

 

Still - I reflexively pick up coins whenever I see them laying in the parking lot or whatever.  And I wrap them up and deposit into the bank. 

 

Funny story - I went to an auto salvage yard to get a replacement for my drivers seat.   The car I took it out of probably had $5 in loose change on the floor and in the storage comparment.      So I popped into a bunch of other nearby cars and noticed the same thing. I guess the salvage yard and the previous owners didnt care about it.   I gobbled all that up and it was enough to pay for my seat and buy lunch - almost $44 when I counted it up at home.     It adds up.

  So you admit to stealing money - "because it was there" - how DemocRATic of you...You should run for Congress as a DemocRAT, you have the major qualification...

I know - Im so naughty.  I also play the TITO tickets people leave on the slot machine.     Call the cops on me.

 

But No worries, David.  I gave it right back to you with your COVID welfare check you got with other peoples' money.    Trump is working on another one now for you with the tariffs I paid.         SO it all evens out.   

 

Toodles !

      Spoken like a true DemocRAT - justifying being a thief by changing the focus of the topic. You paid tariffs?

The effect, which I haven't seen anyone mention, will be the end of prices like $2.99, which of course were always mechanisms to make prices appear smaller.

 

In other countries that have phased out their smallest coinage, merchants put out a bowl of candy for people to receive as change. I for one always tell people I don't want the pennies.

 

Not sorry to see it go.

David's OK with the Orange Asshole looting the Treasury for hundreds of millions, which shows you how he feels about stealing. Same way he feels about rape and pedophilia.
