Come on, guys! If we get rid of the penny, then prices will go up! If something used to cost, say, $1.27, it will be rounded up to $1.30, and overall will cost us much more. It's a ridiculous issue that doesn't need to be touched.

Fix the money!

Get rid of them because they are annoying. Quarters should be the smallest denomination

Inflation is fine with me. I owe a lot of debt (mortgage and car loans) so more inflation is better. And my assets would probably rise along with inflation since I try not to hold too many dollars.

On a side note, the federal reserve admitted to causing the Great Depression. Google Bernanke's statement on the issue.

Kill the penny. We don't use them in bases overseas because they cost too much to import. They charge the exact amount when you pay credit and round up/down when you pay cash. It works and gets rid of that annoying ass coin.

Or just end currency.

When the economy grows, people need more money. When the dollar is the reserve currency of the world, there is a need for more dollars

It's an irrelevant argument in the first place, as minting currency doesn't produce value or wealth.

Nonsensical argument.
