Pennies Shut Down Highway

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered....The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
-Thomas Jefferson

Maybe that will put a stop to the production of 2016 pennies. There have been enough minted already.

"a sea of copper"?
More like a sea of zinc which will soon be melted down because the zinc is worth more than a penny.
