Looking at our jar on the computer desk we use to save pennies in started me thinking about why I save them anymore. All my life I wonder why people would walk over a penny lying on the sidewalk and not bend down and picking it up, 100 pennies is one dollar. Here of late I myself have started passing pennies lying on the ground without thinking about what they're worth, not very much I would say. So my question is why doesn't the government stop making pennies all together. The copper that they are made from should be getting costly and I began looking up what it cost the government to make a penny and was not surprised that it cost more than a cent. Matter of fact it cost the government 1.4 cents for each penny made. If I remember right Fox News said there was about 8 billion pennies made per year. Look at the millions of dollars that would be saved per year by not having pennies. Counting money would be just as easy and ending prices in .05, .15, .25, .35, .45, .55, .65, .75, .85 and .95 would not be bad thing to do.

Just thinking, so what do you say? Is the government really interested in saving taxpayers money? I don't think so!
