    Heard an interesting counter argument, this proposal would require us to mint more nickels which apparently cost 13c each or something.

    Not sure how it all nets out or if cost really would be why you’d do this anyway, but it seems a valid consideration.

      Goes into the physiological of pricing.

        If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

          I mostly agree with this.

            I’m somewhere between indifferent and fine with it.

              The whole point of “it costs more to produce than its actual worth” is ridiculous.

                Interesting take. I mean, if it really is about production costs.

                  Nickels are more expensive relating to value than any other coin or currency at $.14 per coin. Dimes cost around $.05, Quarters are around $.15, and bills cost between $.03-$.10. So obviously, we should just make the pennies equal $100 and reverse the denominations.

                  I repeat, this is so stupid.

                    So a future meme and movie trope may be "he's so poor he could only afford to burn penny bills"?

                      WSJ reports that the US Mint stopped making pennies today.

                        I wonder how much that last penny is worth.
