A PENNY SAVED IS A PENNY EARNED

 



 

Pennies are a pain in the ass.  Why do we still have pennies?   The government admits that the cost of producing a penny is more then the penny is worth.  What the hell can you buy with a penny?   What the hell can you buy with a nickel, for that matter.

 

The only reason for pennies, that I can see, is for states that require sales tax, which varies from 4% to 7.5% … gas tax etc.

 

I have a drink container in my car full of pennies.  Do I really want to stand at a sales counter and count out 49 pennies on my next purchase?  In some states I would probably get shot.  




 Pennywise and pound foolish?
