SHOULD WE NOT ONLY ELIMINATE THE PENNY, BUT THE NICKEL AND DIME AS WELL?


[+] ballot by texsue57
ACTIVE Apr 08,2006 - Thu Jan 01, 09
The half cent was abolished from circulation in 1857 as it was deemed unnecessary and useless. In fact, that argument first originated in 1836 when the first bill was proposed in Congress to do away with it. $.005 would be worth exactly $0.10 in 2005. The penny has been under assault since the late 1960s as being in a similar position as the half cent in the 1850s. Taking all of that into consideration, should we not only eliminate the penny, but the nickel and dime as well?

Have we become a bunch of penny pinchers?

No, do away with the penny only. 29%
Yes, do away with the penny, nickel, & dime. 25%
No, we need to keep producing all of them. 16%
Do NOT do away with the penny 8%
No, do away with the penny & nickel only. 8%
No, we should reinstate the half cent as a circulating denomination. 8%
No, do away with the peny, nickel, dime, & the quarter as well. 4%

COMMENTS:
Voted : Yes, do away with the penny, nickel, & dime.
OF course, the question then becomes, do you want everything rounded to the nearest 10 cents? You know that means everything will be rounded up.

Of course, if you did that, then instead of paying, fo example, $1.81, we would pay $1.9 instead (notice the missing penny, we wouldn't need to write it if the penny and nickel were gone).
