Just heard the news that the US Mint has decided the US penny is finally going to be discontinued. Looks like we can commence cashing in soon.

This was the ONLY April Fools that got me all day. I have avoided the news all day, and the one place I thought we were safe.... BAM!!!
The roller coaster of emotions i had for about 10 seconds was hilarious....
