President Donald Trump announced he is directing the treasury secretary to stop the production of pennies as a cost-cutting measure.

Not gonna lie, I agree with this. Pennies are useless.

      I think like more someone in his government thought they need to do something people don’t hate and the only reasonable thing Trump didn’t have a tantrum about when it was brought up was the futility of the existence of pennies.

      To be fair, honestly, I’d like to think that Fascists at least know that $0.03 > $0.01 is a bad trade.

        We Finns don’t use the 1c or 2c denominations in euro coins. If you use cash, it gets rounded to the nearest 5c.

        As in 10.02 becomes 10.00, 10.03 becomes 10.05.

        If you pay with card, no rounding.

        When buying gas when younger you’d always see that it’s 2 cents or 7 cents the sum on the meter ends on.
