lol die penny die!!!!!!!!!!!

nicely done, but I am not ready for the death of the penny. I like the penny.

The difference is that dimes and nickels are accepted by vending machines, vs. the half-cent.
For many of my years, 26.5, I've thought of change as worthless.
If we discontinue the penny, in the 2 years or so, grace period, I'd spend all my free time sorting for copper. My one millionth copper penny would be the end for me. Time for a new hobby after that...

ETA: I'd like the penny to go away. I want the coppers to melt, melt, melttt.....

It won't die it will become steel , plastic or cardboard too many states need the cents for taxes...

True. But what happens when the states begin to round up or down to the nearest 5 cents? You know they won't round down though...

A cardboard penny? Really? I wonder how long one of those would last.

they'll probably start making them out of hardened discs of monsanto corn.

I can't say I'd be surprised.

My Ryedale tore up the only cardboard penny I have come across when it got stuck under the wheel.

I love C.G.P. Grey. He has a lot of really neat and informative videos (one of my favorites is on animal myths).

Good video. Minor error only 3% copper right now not 5% copper as video states.

nice video, but before they pull the penny, let's reduce the copper percentage to about 2%

That was great!

Probably closer to the truth that I think. Great video. As much as I love my pennies, it would be smart to get rid of them. We have 2 options: 1. Stop inflating the currency and make the penny worth something, 2.Get rid of it and save the country money. Of course, we're dealing with politicians, so they will take secret option #3: do nothing and somehow find a way to make things worse than they already are.

My thoughts exactly!

quite frankly i would be ok with them ceasing production of them and legalizing the melting of them as long as they didnt try to insist on collecting them all and letting them play themselves out...
either that or at least let me take my coppers to the scrap yard lol

Well done!! Probably the funniest/best post I've read in while. Monsanto... been thinking of them a lot lately. Well it's past my bedtime and I'm over my limit of adult beverages so I'm not gonna start to rant, maybe tomorrow... Monsanto... Anyway, Thanks for the chuckle, Monsanto...
