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.

[jon-nyc]

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

[LuFins Dad]

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.
