Watching a boring Super Bowl and this was on Twitter X not sure if it’s true.

Yeah agree the game was not really exciting. Happy for all my Philly friends.
Isn’t the decision to end the penny held my Congress? And it seems this is not the first attempt. Not that I have been penny roll hunting of late. But I don’t really want them to go.

Doing away with the cent may not be as easy as simply issuing an executive order. Several times in the past, the US Mint has floated the idea, only to have it torpedoed by Congress.
Even if it can not be accomplished by executive action, perhaps enough has been done to prod the 535 professional dimwits we call the House and Senate into action on this matter.
Time for more coffee.
